Boshart BMA No-Lead Bronze Male Insert Adapter

The Boshart BMA is a no-lead bronze male insert adapter engineered for connecting poly pipe to threaded male-iron-pipe connections in rough-in plumbing systems. This family is available in a range of sizes from 1/2\" through 1-1/2\" (1/2\", 3/4\", 1\", 1-1/4\", 1-1/2\"), letting contractors and distributors match the exact insert-fitting size to the poly pipe run they're working on. Every size in the BMA line is built from bronze insert-fitting stock and features a smooth sweep flow channel designed to minimize friction loss inside the fitting body, ensuring strong flow rates and pumping efficiency across the full size range. Because it's a no-lead formulation, the BMA is suited to potable water insert-fitting applications where lead-free compliance matters. This fitting is intended for use with poly pipe only — not for hose connections — and ships from Boshart in cartons of 10 per size for contractors and distributors stocking rough-in poly pipe fittings.

Key Features

  • Size Range: Offered in 1/2\", 3/4\", 1\", 1-1/4\", and 1-1/2\" trade sizes to cover common poly pipe rough-in requirements.
  • Durable Construction: Bronze body construction resists corrosion in buried and wet rough-in poly pipe installations across all sizes.
  • No-Lead Formulation: Manufactured as a no-lead fitting, supporting use where lead-free insert fittings are required for potable water systems.
  • Male Insert Adapter Configuration: Provides a male-threaded connection point for transitioning poly pipe to threaded fittings, valves, or equipment.
  • Smooth Sweep Channel Design: The internal flow path is designed with a smooth sweep to minimize friction loss and maximize flow rate and pumping efficiency, regardless of size selected.
  • Poly Pipe Application: Purpose-built for poly pipe connections — not rated or intended for use with hose.
  • Contractor Pack Quantity: Packaged 10 pieces per unit, per size, for efficient job-site and warehouse stocking.

Boshart BMA-050NL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Boshart BMA insert adapter on a garden hose or hose thread connection?
No. The BMA bronze male insert adapter is built for poly pipe only, and Boshart states it is not intended for hose connections. The threaded end is male iron pipe thread, not hose thread, so it will not mate correctly with a hose coupling. For a poly-pipe-to-MIP transition in a rough-in, well, or irrigation line, it is the right part; for hose, look at a hose fitting instead.
2) Is the Boshart BMA insert adapter approved for potable water lines?
The BMA is a no-lead bronze formulation intended for potable water insert fitting applications where lead-free compliance matters. Note that Boshart still carries a Prop 65 lead warning on the product, which is a California disclosure requirement and does not change the no-lead formulation.
3) What sizes does the Boshart BMA male insert adapter come in, and how do I pick the right one?
Five trade sizes: 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch, ordered as BMA-050NL, BMA-075NL, BMA-100NL, BMA-125NL and BMA-150NL. Size by the poly pipe you are inserting into, not by the thread you are tying into. On an insert fitting the barb goes inside the pipe and the size called out matches the poly pipe nominal size, with the male pipe thread matching that same nominal size.
4) Do I get a single fitting or a box when I order a Boshart BMA adapter?
BMA adapters ship from Boshart in cartons of 10 pieces per size. That is worth knowing if you are a contractor grabbing one for a repair versus a distributor stocking a full 1/2 to 1-1/2 inch range, since each size is its own carton of 10.
5) Will I need clamps to install the Boshart BMA insert adapter, or is anything included?
The BMA is the bronze adapter body only. Insert fittings are held in the poly pipe by stainless steel gear clamps, which are a separate item, so plan on clamps for each barbed connection plus thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male iron pipe thread. Nothing in the carton but the ten fittings.
6) Bronze or plastic insert adapter for a buried poly pipe well line?
Bronze is the choice where the joint is buried, in a pit, or on a well pump line under pressure cycling. The BMA body is bronze, which resists corrosion in wet and buried rough-in work and will not crack or creep under a gear clamp the way a nylon or polypropylene barb can. Plastic insert adapters are lighter and cheaper for low-pressure irrigation laterals; for pump discharge and service entrances, bronze is the usual spec.
7) What is the difference between a male and a female insert adapter for poly pipe?
A male insert adapter like the Boshart BMA gives you a male iron pipe thread on the fitting, so it screws into a female-threaded valve, pump port, tank tee, or coupling. A female insert adapter does the opposite and receives a male thread. Both use the same barbed insert end into the poly pipe. Look at the port you are tying into and pick the opposite gender.
8) Does the smooth sweep on the Boshart BMA actually matter for pump flow?
It does on a pump line. The internal flow path of the BMA is formed with a smooth sweep rather than an abrupt shoulder, which reduces friction loss through the fitting body and keeps flow rate and pumping efficiency up. On a well system where several insert fittings stack up between the pump and the tank, those losses add together, so the sweep matters more there than on a single short branch.
9) Where is the Boshart BMA bronze insert adapter made?
Boshart lists the BMA no-lead bronze male insert adapter as manufactured in Taiwan. If you are submitting on a job with country-of-origin or domestic-sourcing requirements, that is the declaration to work from.
