Bmi Usa 6158 Brass Hex Bushing 4 X 2 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6158 is a lead-free brass hex bushing designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems. This fitting reduces from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread, allowing technicians to connect pipes or components of different diameters within the same threaded system. Constructed from brass, the 6158 delivers corrosion resistance and durability suited to potable water and general plumbing applications. The hexagonal outer profile provides solid wrench grip for controlled installation torque. At 3.17 pounds, this is a full-size heavy-duty bushing appropriate for both residential and light commercial work.

This hex bushing is used in plumbing systems where a 4-inch female threaded port must transition down to a 2-inch male threaded connection. Typical install scenarios include water supply mains, distribution manifolds, and mechanical room piping where different pipe sizes meet at a threaded joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of new construction rough-in or service replacement work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before applying wrench torque. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
