Bmi Usa 6150 Brass Hex Bushing 2.5x0.75 Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6150 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread sizes in plumbing and mechanical systems. It connects a 2.5-inch male NPT thread to a 0.75-inch female NPT thread, making it a practical fitting for adapting pipe runs where size transitions are required. Weighing 1.23 pounds, the bushing is constructed from solid brass, which offers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both water and low-pressure gas applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems during rough-in and repair work.

This hex bushing is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing distribution piping where a 2.5-inch to 0.75-inch threaded reduction is needed. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for fittings used in systems that carry drinking water. The hex profile allows standard pipe wrenches and basin wrenches to seat and torque the fitting without slipping.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring a 2.5-inch to 0.75-inch NPT hex bushing reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excess force can crack the hex body or damage mating threads.
