Bmi Usa 6130 Brass Hex Bushing 1 in X 1/4 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6130 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems. This fitting reduces a 1-inch male thread to a 1/4-inch female thread, allowing technicians to transition between pipe sizes without additional adapters. Machined from solid brass, the hex body provides a flat wrench surface for secure, leak-free installation. At 0.28 pounds, it is compact and suited for tight spaces. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply lines, compressed air systems, and general fluid distribution applications.

This hex bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded pipe size reduction is required. Typical install scenarios include branch connections, fixture supply lines, gauge ports, and service valve assemblies. The lead-free construction meets drinking water compliance requirements, making it appropriate for potable water service lines in addition to non-potable mechanical applications.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance standards
• 1-inch male NPT to 1/4-inch female NPT configuration for inline size reduction
• Hex body profile accepts standard wrench for secure tightening
• Solid brass material resists corrosion in water and air service
• Compact and lightweight at 0.28 pounds for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service hex bushing for threaded pipe systems using 1-inch to 1/4-inch NPT connections in plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use the hex body with a properly sized wrench to achieve a leak-free connection without stressing the fitting.
