This type of bushing is a standard fitting used in piping systems to adapt between two different pipe sizes within the same run. The hex profile allows for wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-free makeup. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in a wide range of water, gas, and industrial fluid piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required. The malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress, making it appropriate for both above-ground and interior piping installations. It is commonly used wherever black iron pipe is specified, including gas supply lines and general plumbing rough-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for strength and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas and general piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design allows secure wrench engagement during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 4-inch female thread to 2.5-inch male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard threaded fitting compatible with NPT pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard hex bushing for threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 4-inch to 2.5-inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads prior to assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex body to apply controlled torque with a properly sized wrench.\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: 4 inches (female thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches (male thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.98 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351570\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: 35157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347324469554,"sku":"35157","price":29.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553838.jpg?v=1782101614","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35157-black-hex-bushing-4in-x-2-5in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
