Bmi Usa 6151 Brass Hex Bushing 3x2.5 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6151 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. This fitting reduces a 3-inch male threaded inlet down to a 2.5-inch female threaded outlet, allowing technicians to join mismatched pipe sizes without additional adapters. Constructed from solid brass, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and pressure integrity in both residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting. At 1.87 pounds, the hex body provides a solid gripping surface for standard pipe wrenches during installation.

This hex bushing suits threaded pipe assemblies in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing distribution where a 3-inch to 2.5-inch reduction is required. Its lead-free construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems. The hex shoulder design allows for controlled torque application without slipping, making it appropriate for tight-clearance rough-in work in both new construction and retrofit service calls.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• Reduces 3-inch male thread to 2.5-inch female thread in a single fitting
• Hex body allows full wrench engagement for controlled makeup torque
• Solid brass material resists corrosion in water and hydronic fluid service
• Threaded connection type requires no special tools beyond standard pipe wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded brass hex bushing for 3-inch to 2.5-inch NPT pipe reduction applications in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 beginning work. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use steady, even torque applied through the hex flats to avoid cracking the fitting body.
