Weighing 1.04 pounds, this bushing features a hexagonal outer profile that provides a secure gripping surface for installation with a standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench. The black finish is a standard iron oxide coating suited for non-corrosive interior piping applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on low-pressure gas, air, or fluid distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is sized at 2.5 inches by 1 inch, making it appropriate for reducing connections in residential and light commercial piping systems. It is commonly used in gas distribution, compressed air, and water supply lines where a threaded reduction is required at a valve, fitting, or equipment port. The malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to handle moderate vibration and mechanical stress in installed piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex outer profile allows wrench engagement for controlled installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction offers ductility and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish suitable for interior gas, air, and fluid piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch female thread to 1-inch male thread reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing design eliminates the need for a full coupling-and-nipple reduction assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded malleable iron piping systems in residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded iron piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint, following local plumbing and mechanical code requirements. Use a pipe wrench on the hex profile and avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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 Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches (female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351495\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 35149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344426533170,"sku":"35149","price":16.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553648.jpg?v=1782035704","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35149-black-malleable-iron-hex-pipe-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
