B K Mueller 511-965HN Galvanized Hex Bushing 1.25x1 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 511-965HN is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a 1.25-inch female pipe thread to a 1-inch male pipe thread. Hex bushings of this type are used to transition between two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. The external hex profile allows for wrench engagement, making installation straightforward and secure. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for a range of plumbing and mechanical piping applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, gas distribution, or general mechanical systems.

Galvanized hex bushings are commonly used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed in-line. Typical applications include water supply lines, low-pressure gas piping, and general mechanical systems where iron or steel pipe is standard. The fitting threads into a larger female-threaded fitting or valve, with the smaller male end accepting the next downstream pipe or fitting.

Key Features

• 1.25-inch female NPT to 1-inch male NPT reduction in a single fitting
• Hex body profile allows full wrench engagement for proper torque
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for iron pipe systems
• Sold in a package quantity of 5 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit hex bushing for threaded iron and steel pipe systems using NPT fittings in 1.25-inch by 1-inch size combinations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before working on any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping applications.
