Bmi Usa 35151 Pipe Bushing 3x2.5 in Black Malleable Iron

Product Description

The BMI USA 35151 is a black malleable iron HEXO pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3-inch female fitting to a 2.5-inch male thread connection. This type of hex bushing is a standard fitting used in plumbing, gas piping, and industrial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required in-line. The black finish indicates suitability for gas line applications, and the malleable iron construction provides the durability and thread integrity needed for pressurized systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This bushing is appropriate for residential and commercial piping applications involving natural gas, propane, steam, or water distribution systems where a 3-inch to 2.5-inch reduction is needed at a threaded connection point. The HEXO hex profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, making it practical for tight or inline runs where a reducing coupling would not fit. It is commonly used in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and equipment connections.

Key Features

• 3-inch female to 2.5-inch male threaded reduction
• Malleable iron construction for strength and thread durability
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications
• HEXO hex profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque
• Weighs 1.82 pounds — solid, heavy-duty fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe bushing for use in standard NPT-threaded plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems requiring a 3-inch to 2.5-inch inline reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or water service and relieve system pressure before working on any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe thread compound to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
