Value Collection MSC-62149810 Pipe Bushing 1/2x3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-62149810 is a black malleable iron threaded pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1/2-inch pipe connection down to a 3/8-inch fitting. Rated at Class 150 with a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, this bushing handles both low- and moderate-pressure piping applications. The black finish is standard for malleable iron fittings used in gas distribution, steam, and general industrial piping. Installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians, it provides a reliable threaded reduction in standard pipe assemblies.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction between 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch connections is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, steam piping, and general-purpose liquid lines operating within the rated pressure limits. The Class 150 malleable iron construction meets standard requirements for black iron piping systems found in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where applicable. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench sized for the fitting and follow standard trade practice for malleable iron fittings.
