Mars 69029103600 Black Hex Bushing 3 X 2.5 in

Product Description

The MARS 69029103600 is a black hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread connections from a 3-inch male thread to a 2.5-inch female thread. Hex bushings serve as compact, inline reducers used in threaded piping systems across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical applications. The hex body profile allows for positive wrench engagement during installation and removal. This bushing is finished in black, consistent with standard black iron pipe fittings used in gas distribution and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting in gas line and hydronic system assemblies.

This bushing fits threaded piping systems where a 3-inch connection must be stepped down to a 2.5-inch connection at a fitting, valve, or equipment port. It is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical piping applications. The compact hex body makes it practical in tight spaces where a full coupling or union reducer would not fit. Installers working on gas supply lines, hydronic heating systems, or general mechanical piping will find this a standard-use fitting for thread reduction at equipment connections.
