The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation and removal. Finished in black, this bushing fits into standard threaded pipe systems and handles the mechanical demands of typical plumbing and piping assemblies. It weighs 2.2 pounds and measures 3.5 inches by 1.5 inches. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bushing is suited for use in threaded pipe assemblies where a reduction from a 3.5-inch to a 1.5-inch connection is required. The hex profile allows installation with standard pipe wrenches or hex wrenches, making it practical in tight or high-torque applications. It is commonly used in plumbing supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general industrial piping systems where malleable iron fittings are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for durability in threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design allows wrench engagement for secure makeup and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.5-inch to 1.5-inch reduction for standard pipe system transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded connection compatible with standard NPT pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install hex pipe bushing for standard threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 3.5-inch to 1.5-inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten — use the hex flats with a properly sized wrench to avoid cracking the fitting body.\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\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701351969\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: 35196\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346248139058,"sku":"35196","price":34.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553886.jpg?v=1782075103","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35196-malleable-iron-pipe-bushing-3-5x1-5-in-black","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
