Bmi Usa 35130 Black Malleable Iron Hex Bushing 1x1/4

Product Description

The BMI USA 35130 is a black malleable iron hex bushing used to reduce pipe thread sizes in plumbing and piping systems. The hex body profile allows for a secure wrench grip during installation, reducing the risk of rounding or slipping compared to flush-style bushings. This fitting transitions a 1-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch male thread and weighs 0.21 pounds. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, or compressed air distribution systems where a threaded size reduction is required at a fitting or valve connection.

This hex bushing suits residential and light commercial piping applications. It fits standard NPT threaded pipe assemblies and is well suited for use in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and industrial piping runs where a durable, corrosion-resistant fitting is needed. The black finish is standard for gas-service piping and is consistent with iron pipe system installations.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and durability in threaded pipe systems
• Black finish suitable for gas-service and general-purpose iron pipe applications
• Hex body design allows positive wrench engagement during makeup
• Reduces 1-inch female NPT to 1/4-inch male NPT
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for NPT threaded iron pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/4-inch threaded reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system before working on any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to male threads before makeup, and use a wrench on the hex body to achieve a proper seal without overtightening. Do not use this fitting beyond its rated service conditions for the material and finish type.
