B K/mueller Inds(import) 511-985HN Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The B K/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT) 511-985HN is a galvanized hex bushing used to reduce a larger threaded pipe connection to a smaller one. It fits into a 2-inch female threaded fitting and accepts a 1-inch male threaded pipe or fitting on the outlet side. The hex body provides a flat surface for a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench, making it straightforward to install and remove. Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or moderate-moisture environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing in water supply, drain, and general-purpose piping systems where a threaded reduction is needed without adding a coupling.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where galvanized steel pipe is already in use. Common install scenarios include reducing branch lines, retrofitting older galvanized systems, and adapting pipe sizes at fixtures or equipment connections. This item is sold in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service trucks or job-site stock.

Key Features

• Threaded reduction from 2-inch female NPT to 1-inch male NPT in a single fitting
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in standard plumbing environments
• Hex body design provides wrench flats for secure installation and removal
• Package quantity of 5 per unit for job-site or truck-stock convenience
• Compact form factor reduces the need for additional couplings or adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for galvanized steel threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter typically installs threaded galvanized bushings in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before installation, and use a pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
