Bmi Usa 35148 Black Hex Bushing 2.5 X 1.25 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 35148 is a malleable iron hex bushing finished in black, designed to reduce pipe connections from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread. Hex bushings are a standard fitting used throughout plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where a threaded reduction is needed without adding a coupling or nipple. This bushing measures 2.5 inches by 1.25 inches and weighs 1.04 pounds. Its malleable iron construction provides the durability and thread integrity required in pressurized piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded pipe size reduction is required. Common applications include gas supply lines, water distribution systems, and general mechanical piping. The black finish is standard for gas service fittings and is compatible with threaded black iron pipe systems. The hex exterior allows for secure wrench engagement during installation, making it practical for tight spaces and high-torque connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before threading the bushing into the fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten using a properly sized wrench on the hex exterior.
