Bmi Usa 35158 4x2 Inch Black Malleable Iron Hexi Pipe Bushing

Product Description

The BMI USA 35158 is a 4-inch by 2-inch black malleable iron hex bushing designed for reducing pipe connections in plumbing and piping systems. The HEXI-style hex head allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, making it suitable for use in tight or confined spaces. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this bushing provides durable service in low-pressure pipe assemblies. It is a standard threaded reducing bushing intended for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or residential piping runs.

This bushing is commonly installed where a larger-diameter pipe or fitting must transition down to a 2-inch threaded connection. The 4-inch inlet and 2-inch outlet threading makes it applicable in water supply, drain, and general-purpose piping configurations where malleable iron fittings are specified. The black finish is typical of non-potable and gas-service piping applications, and installation should follow applicable local plumbing codes.

Key Features

• 4-inch to 2-inch reducing configuration for standard pipe transitions
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and durability in threaded piping assemblies
• Black finish suitable for gas-service and non-potable piping applications
• HEXI hex-head design allows wrench engagement for proper torque during makeup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded reducing bushing compatible with standard 4-inch NPT female inlet and 2-inch NPT male outlet piping systems where malleable iron fittings are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape per the service type before makeup. Use a properly sized pipe wrench or hex wrench on the hex head to achieve a leak-free joint without over-stressing the fitting.
