Bmi Usa 6123 Brass Hex Bushing 3/4 X 1/2 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6123 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch female threaded connection down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. This fitting is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a size transition is required between two NPT pipe sections. The hexagonal outer profile allows for standard wrench engagement, making installation straightforward and secure. Constructed from solid brass, this bushing delivers corrosion resistance and durability in water and low-pressure fluid distribution systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of routine pipe assembly or retrofit work.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded pipe reduction is needed. It fits into systems using standard NPT threading and is appropriate for water distribution lines, irrigation manifolds, and similar service lines. The lead-free construction meets applicable requirements for potable water contact, making it a compliant choice for drinking water systems. It is typically installed inline wherever a 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch threaded reduction is called for.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to achieve a firm, leak-free connection without overtightening, which can crack brass fittings.
