Bmi Usa 35143 Hex Bushing 2 X 3/4 Inch Black Malleable Iron

Product Description

The BMI USA 35143 is a black malleable iron hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 2-inch female fitting to a 3/4-inch male thread. This type of bushing is a standard component in piping systems where a threaded reduction is needed without adding extra pipe nipples or couplings. The hex body allows a wrench to seat properly for consistent torque during installation. Weighing 0.59 pounds, it is a solid, durable fitting suited for trade professionals working in plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications.

This hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a reduction from 2-inch to 3/4-inch threaded connections is required. Common install scenarios include branch takeoffs, equipment connections, and service valve installations. The black finish indicates a non-galvanized iron fitting, which is standard for gas piping applications and compatible with black iron pipe systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers in these settings.

Key Features

• Hex body design allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for black iron threaded pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 3/4-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician, particularly in gas piping applications governed by the IFGC. Shut off the gas supply or water supply and relieve system pressure before working on any threaded connection. Apply appropriate pipe thread sealant approved for the service medium before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
