The hex body allows for wrench engagement during installation, providing secure torque without slipping. At 2.65 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting suited for use in gas, water, air, and general plumbing piping systems. It connects a 4-inch female threaded port to a 1-1\/4-inch male threaded outlet. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting where pipe size transitions are required in a run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications. It is commonly installed in gas distribution manifolds, compressed air systems, water supply lines, and steam or hydronic heating systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is needed. The black finish indicates this fitting is typically used in gas service applications, though it is also suitable for other compatible media as allowed by local code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design allows full wrench engagement for proper installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas service and general industrial piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch female NPT to 1-1\/4-inch male NPT reduction in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubstantial 2.65-pound weight reflects heavy-duty wall thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems using standard NPT connections in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications.\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 IPC and IFGC requirements for gas and plumbing systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before engaging threads. Do not over-tighten to the point of cracking the fitting body; use wrench flats on the hex to control engagement.\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 NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches (male NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351600\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: 35160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345139040562,"sku":"35160","price":30.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553904.jpg?v=1782050106","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35160-black-malleable-iron-hex-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
