Hex bushings fit inside a female-threaded fitting or pipe end and accept a smaller male-threaded pipe or fitting on the opposite side, allowing technicians to step down from a 2.5-inch thread to a 0.75-inch thread without an additional coupling. The external hex profile provides secure wrench engagement during installation. This bushing is a standard fitting for plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping assemblies where a concentric thread reduction is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHex bushings of this type are used in residential and light commercial applications across plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping systems. Common install scenarios include connecting smaller-diameter branch lines to larger headers, adapting valves or gauges with 0.75-inch male threads into 2.5-inch female outlets, and general pipe routing modifications. The black finish indicates a non-galvanized malleable iron fitting, which is standard for natural gas and propane service lines as well as hydronic and steam piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex profile allows full wrench engagement for leak-free thread makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suits natural gas, propane, and steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch female NPT to 0.75-inch male NPT concentric reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing design eliminates need for additional couplings or nipples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for use in malleable iron NPT pipe assemblies common to residential and light commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable local codes including IFGC and IPC. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex flats and inspect for leaks before returning the system to service.\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 Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.99 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351501\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: 35150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347381977394,"sku":"35150","price":16.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553649.jpg?v=1782103250","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35150-black-hex-bushing-2-5-x-0-75-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
