B K Mueller 511-954HN Galvanized Hex Bushing 1x3/4

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 511-954HN is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch male pipe thread to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread. Hex bushings are a standard threaded pipe fitting used to transition between two different pipe sizes within the same threaded piping system. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial piping systems where a compact, threaded size reduction is required.

Galvanized hex bushings are commonly used in water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and gas piping systems where iron or steel threaded pipe is the primary material. The hex design allows for wrench engagement during installation, making it straightforward to apply proper thread engagement. This part ships in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for service trucks or shop stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads; follow standard practice for hand-tight plus wrench turns appropriate to the fitting material.
