This fitting transitions from a 1-1\/2 inch male thread to a 1-1\/2 inch female thread down to a 1\/2 inch female thread, allowing tradespeople to step down pipe diameter without additional adapters. Constructed from solid brass, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in a compact, hexagonal body that accepts standard wrenching. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in water supply, HVAC hydronic, and light commercial piping systems where thread reduction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded step-down connection is needed between pipes of differing diameters. It is commonly used in water distribution lines, boiler piping, and hydronic heating systems. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact applications, making it appropriate for use in drinking water supply lines and other health-sensitive piping contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction suitable for potable water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile allows secure wrenching during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch to 1\/2 inch threaded reduction in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant brass material for long service life in wet environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends compatible with standard NPT pipe thread systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded brass hex bushing for use in standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1\/2 inch to 1\/2 inch diameter reduction in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly and tighten using an appropriately sized wrench on the hex flats. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.47 pounds\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: 6138\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346859721010,"sku":"6138","price":33.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553867.jpg?v=1782092647","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-6138-brass-hex-bushing-1-1-2-x-1-2-inch-lead-free","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
