B K/mueller Inds 511-963HN Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 511-963HN is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a 1-1/4-inch female pipe thread to a 1/2-inch male pipe thread. The hex body allows a wrench to seat the fitting securely during installation. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas, and general plumbing pipe systems. This fitting is a standard threaded reducing bushing handled by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors in both new construction and repair work.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and piping applications where a threaded pipe reduction is needed in-line. It is commonly installed in water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for dry or mildly wet environments where bare steel would be at risk of surface corrosion. Each package contains 5 pieces.
