Aqualine GHXB-1210 Threaded Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-1210 is a threaded galvanized bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter in water supply, irrigation, and general plumbing systems. This hex bushing features male and female threaded ends with galvanized steel construction that provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor installations. At 1.25 inches by 1 inch, it steps down a 1.25-inch female thread to a 1-inch male thread. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters are the primary installers, though experienced pool and irrigation technicians regularly work with fittings of this type.

This bushing fits into residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a pipe size reduction is required at a threaded joint. Common scenarios include connecting smaller-diameter pipe runs to larger manifolds, adapting pump discharge ports, or transitioning between pipe sizes in irrigation and pool equipment systems. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or partially exposed installations where bare steel would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 1.25-inch to 1-inch threaded reduction for standard pipe size transitions
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for extended service life
• Male and female threaded ends allow direct inline installation without additional adapters
• Hex body design allows wrench engagement for proper tightening torque
• Order increment of 1 for single-unit purchasing flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit threaded bushing for 1.25-inch by 1-inch NPT piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting or installing this bushing. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body or damage mating threads.
