This fitting reduces a 6-inch female threaded connection down to a 4-inch male threaded connection, making it a standard reducing bushing used in piping assemblies across plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. The HEXO profile provides a hex outer shape for secure wrench engagement during installation. At 6.8 pounds, the malleable iron construction delivers the durability and thread integrity required in demanding trade applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a 6-inch to 4-inch threaded reduction is needed. Common install scenarios include main line reductions at distribution headers, mechanical room piping, and gas or water supply assemblies where NPT threaded fittings are specified. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications in many jurisdictions. Verify local code requirements before installation to confirm material and finish acceptability for the intended service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch to 4-inch reducing bushing for NPT-threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for strength and thread durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHEXO profile allows full wrench engagement on outer hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas line piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubstantial 6.8-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 direct-install fitting for 6-inch female by 4-inch male NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical 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 plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per the service type — confirm sealant compatibility with the conveyed medium. Use a pipe wrench on the hex profile and avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6x4 inches\u003c\/li\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351655\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: 35165\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345314480434,"sku":"35165","price":64.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554071.jpg?v=1782054460","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35165-pipe-bushing-6x4-inch-black-malleable-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
