Bmi Usa 35168 6x2 Pipe Bushing Black Malleable Iron

Product Description

The BMI USA 35168 is a 6x2 inch malleable iron hex pipe bushing with a black finish, designed for reducing pipe thread connections in plumbing and piping systems. This bushing threads into a larger female fitting and accepts a smaller male pipe thread, providing a reliable threaded reduction in a compact hex-body profile. The malleable iron construction offers durability and resistance to mechanical stress, making it suitable for use in commercial and industrial piping applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe assemblies.

This bushing is suited for use in threaded black iron pipe systems commonly found in gas distribution, compressed air, and industrial fluid piping. The 6x2 inch reduction makes it applicable in scenarios where a significant pipe size step-down is required within a single fitting. It is a standard fitting used in both new construction and retrofit piping work where malleable iron threaded fittings are specified.

Key Features

• 6x2 inch reducing configuration for large step-down connections
• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to impact and vibration
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and industrial applications
• Hex body design allows installation with a standard pipe wrench or open-end wrench
• Threaded male and female ends for use in standard NPT pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems accepting 6-inch female and 2-inch male NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to a leak-free connection. Follow applicable code requirements under the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code for the specific service type.
