Bmi Usa 6147 Brass Hex Bushing 2.5 X 1.5 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 6147 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems. It reduces a 2.5-inch male NPT fitting down to a 1.5-inch female NPT port, allowing techs to step down pipe sizes within a threaded assembly. Constructed from solid brass, this bushing delivers reliable sealing performance and corrosion resistance in both hot and cold water applications. The hex body profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, reducing the chance of slippage and fitting damage. At 1.63 pounds, the part carries the weight expected of a full-brass fitting in this size range.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where threaded pipe reduction is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections where pipe diameter changes are needed within a run. The lead-free brass construction meets material requirements for potable water service in jurisdictions following current plumbing code standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in code-governed work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water service
• 2.5-inch male to 1.5-inch female threaded reduction
• Hex body design allows wrench engagement for proper torque
• Corrosion-resistant brass material for long service life in wet environments
• Threaded fitting type for use in standard NPT pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 2.5-inch to 1.5-inch reduction in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or local adopted code. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling existing fittings or installing this bushing. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use wrench engagement on the hex body only and avoid applying force to connected piping or fixtures.
