Bmi Usa 6146 Brass Hex Bushing 2.5 X 2 Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6146 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications. This fitting reduces from a 2.5-inch male thread to a 2-inch female thread using a standard hex body profile, allowing a wrench to be applied cleanly during installation. Constructed from solid brass, the 6146 offers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in potable water lines. Its lead-free construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for systems supplying domestic water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This hex bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded pipe diameter reduction is needed. The 2.5 x 2 inch reduction is a common size in domestic supply lines, boiler systems, and mechanical room piping. It connects directly in-line wherever standard NPT threaded fittings are specified.
