Bmi Usa 6136 Brass Hex Bushing 1-1/2 X 1 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6136 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems. This fitting reduces a 1-1/2 inch female thread to a 1 inch male thread, allowing technicians to join pipes or components of different sizes within a single threaded assembly. The hexagonal body profile provides secure wrench engagement for proper torque during installation. Weighing 0.57 pounds and constructed from solid brass, this bushing is suited for use in potable water and general plumbing applications where lead-free compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This hex bushing is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded reducing connection is needed between two different pipe sizes. It is commonly used at fixture connections, valve assemblies, water heater hookups, and similar applications where a 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch threaded reduction is required. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for installations that must meet lead-free standards for drinking water systems.
