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.
