Value Brand 2 in x 1 in Malleable Iron Hex Bushing Class 150

2 in x 1 in Hex Bushing

This malleable iron hex bushing reduces a 2 in female NPT connection to a 1 in male NPT connection. It is rated for Class 150 service with a maximum pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees F and saturated steam pressure of 150 psi. The fitting meets ASME B16.3 and B16.4 standards and carries FM Approved and UL Listed certifications. It suits plumbing and industrial piping systems requiring a durable, threaded reducer.

Upgrade from basic couplings

Use this bushing when a straight coupling cannot match dissimilar pipe sizes and a reducer is required. The hex profile allows installation with a standard wrench, unlike round bushings that need specialised tools. The jump is worth it when the system demands compliance with ASME B16.3 and B16.4 plus FM and UL marks for insurance or code acceptance. It replaces improvised reducer assemblies that lack certified pressure ratings.

Capacity and headroom

The solid malleable iron construction handles temperatures from -20 to 366 degrees F, covering chilled water, hot water and low-pressure steam lines. At 300 psi cold working pressure it provides ample headroom for typical Class 150 municipal and commercial systems. It runs out when pressures exceed the 300 psi rating or when temperatures surpass 366 degrees F, requiring a higher-class fitting or alternative material.
