Aqualine GHXB-1050 Threaded Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-1050 is a threaded galvanized steel pipe bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female threaded connection down to a 0.5-inch male threaded connection. This type of reducing bushing is a standard fitting used in water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in both indoor and outdoor installations. At 0.23 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable fitting suited for low-pressure water supply and drainage applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this bushing when transitioning between pipe sizes within a threaded iron or steel piping assembly.

This reducing bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation headers, pool and spa equipment plumbing, and general-purpose water supply lines. It is appropriate for applications where a hex bushing style fitting is needed to step down pipe diameter at a threaded joint. Trade professionals working with Schedule 40 threaded iron pipe systems will encounter this style of fitting frequently in retrofit and new-installation work.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-inch female thread to 0.5-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with iron and steel pipe assemblies
• Compact hex-body design allows installation and removal with standard pipe wrenches
• Lightweight at 0.23 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade fitting for 1-inch to 0.5-inch threaded galvanized pipe reduction applications in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working with threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly per standard plumbing practice and IPC guidelines. Do not over-tighten, as excessive torque can crack fittings or damage threads.
