The hex profile provides a flat wrench surface for reliable torque during installation without slipping or rounding. This bushing transitions a 1-inch female thread down to a 1\/8-inch male thread, making it a standard pipe fitting for reducing connections in gas, air, and general piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit service work. It weighs 0.21 pounds and carries a black iron finish suited for ferrous piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where a pipe thread reduction is needed at valves, manifolds, gauges, or branch connections. The 1-inch by 1\/8-inch size is frequently encountered when adapting standard pipe runs down to instrument ports or small-diameter control line connections. Its malleable iron construction allows for reliable thread engagement under moderate stress and vibration typical of mechanical system environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex profile provides flat wrench surface for secure installation without pipe wrench slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction resists cracking under thread stress and moderate vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack iron finish compatible with standard ferrous pipe system conventions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch female NPT to 1\/8-inch male NPT reduction in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for threaded pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 1\/8-inch reduction in malleable iron construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded ferrous piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the system type. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as cracking can occur under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351310\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35131\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346736775474,"sku":"35131","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310552574.jpg?v=1782088855","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35131-black-malleable-iron-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
