Bmi Usa 35155 3x1 Black Malleable Iron Hex Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The BMI USA 35155 is a 3-inch by 1-inch malleable iron hex bushing finished in black. It is a threaded reducing bushing used to connect pipes of different diameters within a piping system. The hex profile provides a flat surface for wrench engagement, making installation straightforward and secure. Weighing 1.42 pounds, this bushing is built for durability in demanding trade applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting to reduce a larger threaded female opening down to a smaller threaded male connection in gas, water, or industrial pipe assemblies.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 3-inch to 1-inch reduction is required. It is commonly used in gas distribution lines, water supply systems, and general-purpose industrial piping. The black finish is standard for gas pipe fittings and is compatible with threaded pipe systems assembled per applicable codes. It is typically installed in locations where space allows for a wrench to engage the hex flats during makeup.

Key Features

• 3-inch by 1-inch reducing configuration for standard pipe size transitions
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact in piping systems
• Hex body profile allows secure wrench engagement during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 3-inch to 1-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service on all threaded connections. Engage the hex flats with an appropriately sized pipe wrench to achieve a proper, leak-free makeup without over-stressing the fitting.
