Bmi Usa 35191 Black Hex Pipe Bushing 2.5x0.5 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 35191 is a black malleable iron hex pipe bushing designed to reduce a larger female pipe thread to a smaller male pipe thread in pressurized piping systems. The hexagonal outer profile allows a wrench to seat securely during installation, reducing the risk of rounding or slippage. At 0.91 pounds, it is a solid, durable fitting suited for use in gas, water, and general-purpose pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians frequently use fittings of this type when running gas supply lines to heating equipment.

This bushing is sized to transition from a 2.5-inch female fitting to a 0.5-inch male fitting, making it appropriate for applications where a significant pipe size reduction is needed within a single connection point. Typical install scenarios include gas distribution manifolds, water supply rough-in work, and industrial pipe assemblies where malleable iron fittings are specified. The black finish indicates it is not galvanized, which is the standard specification for natural gas and propane piping in most jurisdictions.

Key Features

• Hex outer profile provides full wrench engagement for secure installation
• Malleable iron construction withstands mechanical stress and vibration common in pipe systems
• Black finish meets standard specifications for gas piping applications
• 2.5-inch to 0.5-inch reduction in a single compact fitting
• Solid, non-galvanized iron suitable for natural gas and propane service per local code

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for malleable iron threaded pipe systems using NPT connections in plumbing, HVAC gas supply, and general industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
