Bmi Usa 35195 Malleable Iron Hex Bushing 3.5x2 Black

Product Description

The BMI USA 35195 is a malleable iron hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes in plumbing and piping systems. This fitting accepts a larger female thread on the outside and a smaller male thread on the inside, allowing technicians to step down between two pipe sizes within a single connection point. The black finish comes from a standard iron pipe coating applied during manufacturing. At 2.2 pounds, this is a solid, heavy-duty fitting suited for professional trade installations where a durable threaded reduction is required.

This hex bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution piping, and industrial pipe systems where a threaded size reduction is needed without a union or coupling. The hexagonal body allows a wrench to be seated securely during makeup, giving the installer full torque control. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on black iron gas lines or general piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under stress
• Black finish suitable for gas line and general black iron pipe systems
• Hex body design allows standard wrench engagement during installation
• Reduces pipe connection size in a single compact fitting
• 2.2 pounds solid weight indicates heavy-duty wall thickness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for black iron pipe systems requiring a threaded hex bushing reduction in plumbing or gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements when used on gas lines. Shut off the gas supply or water service completely before breaking or making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
