Bmi Usa 6116 Brass Hex Bushing 3/8x1/4 Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6116 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed to reduce a 3/8-inch female threaded port down to a 1/4-inch male threaded connection. Hex bushings are used to adapt between two different pipe thread sizes within a plumbing, HVAC, or mechanical system. The hexagonal body allows for a secure wrench grip during installation. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets safe drinking water requirements and is suited for both potable water and general fluid handling applications.

This fitting is commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, HVAC equipment connections, and compressed air or gas distribution lines where a threaded size reduction is required. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians during equipment hookup, system modifications, or repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system before installing or removing any threaded fittings.
