Value Collection MDB241 32X15 Black Threaded Bushing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MDB241 32X15 is a black-finish malleable iron threaded bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 1-1/4 inch female thread to a 1/2 inch male thread. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service, this Class 150 fitting meets a broad range of piping standards including EN 10242, FM Approved, GB/T 3287, GB/T 7306.2, ISO 7/1, and is cULus Listed. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of bushing when connecting pipes or equipment of differing thread sizes in low-pressure gas and liquid distribution systems. The black finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for above-ground and indoor installations.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded reduction fitting is required between nominal 1-1/4 inch and 1/2 inch pipe sizes. Typical install scenarios include gas distribution lines, water supply rough-in, and mechanical room piping where equipment inlets or outlets differ from the supply line size. The malleable iron construction handles the mechanical stress of frequent assembly and field adjustment better than standard cast iron fittings.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded malleable iron piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch to 1/2 inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per code requirements before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
