Bmi Usa 6152 Brass Hex Bushing 3 X 2 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6152 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies where a reduction between two different pipe sizes is required. Manufactured from solid brass, this hex bushing provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in pressure-rated plumbing systems. The 3 x 2 inch size accommodates a common reduction found in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The hex body profile allows for wrench engagement during installation, reducing the risk of slippage and enabling proper torque application. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This bushing is suited for use in potable water, general plumbing supply, and hydronic systems where lead-free brass fittings are required by code. The 3 x 2 inch reduction makes it a practical choice for transitioning between main supply lines and branch outlets in residential and commercial piping configurations. Its lead-free construction meets compliance requirements in jurisdictions enforcing low-lead content standards for fittings that contact drinking water.

• Lead-free brass construction meets low-lead compliance requirements for potable water applications
• 3 x 2 inch size provides a standard pipe size reduction in threaded 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 relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
