Value Collection MSC-62149844 Malleable Iron Bushing 3/4x1/2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-62149844 is a black malleable iron pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female threaded opening to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. Malleable iron construction gives this fitting the ductility and strength needed for low- to medium-pressure piping systems. The black finish is standard for gas-line and general-purpose iron pipe assemblies. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service under Class 150 designation, this bushing handles typical residential and light commercial pressure demands. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas-line technicians use this fitting when connecting dissimilar pipe sizes in iron pipe systems.

This bushing fits residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded size reduction is needed inline. Common install scenarios include natural gas branch lines, steam and hot-water heating distribution systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial fluid piping. The NPT threaded ends ensure compatibility with standard iron pipe fittings and valves. It is sold individually and suited for service, repair, and new construction work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard service fitting for Class 150 malleable iron threaded pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements, including IFGC for gas-line work. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to avoid cross-threading the malleable iron.
