B K Mueller 511-986HN Galvanized Hex Bushing 2x1-1/4 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 511-986HN is a galvanized hex bushing used to reduce pipe thread connections from a 2-inch female thread to a 1-1/4-inch male thread. The hexagonal body allows for wrench engagement, making installation fast and secure in tight spaces. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion and is suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction or retrofit work where a threaded pipe size reduction is required in a galvanized piping run.

This hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems wherever a 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch threaded reduction is needed. It is commonly found in water distribution lines, fire protection branches, and gas supply headers. The fitting ships in a package of 5 units, making it practical for contractors stocking for multi-unit jobs or service calls requiring multiple reductions on a single project.

Key Features

• 2-inch female NPT inlet reduces to 1-1/4-inch male NPT outlet

• Threaded connection type for compatibility with standard NPT galvanized pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use in threaded galvanized pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should install this fitting in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as applicable. Shut off the water supply or gas line and relieve all pressure before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench to bring the fitting to a snug, leak-free connection.
