Bmi Usa 6149 Brass Hex Bushing 2.5 X 1 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6149 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems. This fitting reduces a 2.5-inch female NPT opening down to a 1-inch male NPT outlet, allowing tradespeople to join pipes or fittings of different diameters without additional adapters. Constructed from solid brass, it delivers corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications. Weighing 1.17 pounds, the hex profile provides flat wrench surfaces for reliable installation torque. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded reducing connection is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture rough-in work where pipe sizes must be stepped down. The lead-free construction meets drinking water safety requirements, making it appropriate for potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this bushing into place. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as excessive force can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
