Bmi Usa 6156 Brass Hex Bushing 4x3 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6156 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections requiring a reduction from a 4-inch male thread to a 3-inch female thread. Constructed from solid brass, this bushing delivers reliable, corrosion-resistant performance in both water supply and distribution systems. The hexagonal body provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation without slipping. At 3.28 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting suited for commercial and residential plumbing applications where lead-free compliance is required by code.

This bushing is used in threaded piping systems where a reduction between two pipe sizes is needed at a joint. Typical installations include water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and general plumbing rough-in work in both residential and light commercial settings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a 4-inch to 3-inch threaded reduction is specified on brass-compatible piping systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets drinking water safety standards
• 4-inch male to 3-inch female threaded configuration for in-line pipe reduction
• Hex body design allows standard wrench engagement for secure tightening
• Corrosion-resistant brass material suitable for water distribution service
• Heavy-duty build at 3.28 pounds for long-term durability in pressurized systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded brass hex bushing for use in 4-inch to 3-inch pipe reduction applications on compatible threaded brass or iron piping 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 relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before hand-tightening, then use a pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the fitting body.
