Bmi Usa 35126 Hex Pipe Bushing 3/4 X 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 35126 is a hex pipe bushing used to reduce a larger female-threaded pipe opening to a smaller male-threaded connection. Machined from malleable iron with a black finish, this bushing handles the mechanical stress of threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and water distribution systems. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight spaces in residential and light commercial installations. The hexagonal outer profile provides wrench flats for secure tightening without slipping. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during system assembly or modification.

This bushing is used wherever a threaded pipe system requires a size reduction from 3/4 inch to 1/8 inch. Common applications include gas distribution manifolds, compressed air lines, and water supply piping in both residential and light commercial settings. The black malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for use in low-pressure gas and air systems where galvanized fittings are not required. It is typically installed at branch takeoffs, gauges, sensors, or instrument ports that require a smaller threaded inlet.

Key Features

• Reduces 3/4 inch female thread to 1/8 inch male thread for inline pipe size transitions
• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded assemblies
• Black finish appropriate for gas, air, and non-potable water piping applications
• Hex outer profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque during installation
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded hex bushing for use in residential and light commercial pipe systems requiring a 3/4 inch to 1/8 inch NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Always shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service type before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
