Aqualine GHXB-1510 Threaded Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-1510 is a threaded galvanized steel bushing used to reduce a larger threaded pipe opening to a smaller pipe size. It connects 1.5-inch female threads to 1-inch male threads, making it a standard reducer fitting in plumbing, pool, and irrigation piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of bushing wherever a threaded pipe system requires a reduction in diameter without the need for a coupling and a separate nipple. It weighs 0.53 pounds and ships in single-unit increments.

This bushing fits into threaded pipe assemblies found in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, pool equipment plumbing, irrigation supply lines, and general water distribution piping. It is appropriate for use anywhere a 1.5-inch to 1-inch threaded reduction is needed in a galvanized steel pipe run. Install it directly into a 1.5-inch female-threaded fitting or valve body to accept 1-inch male-threaded pipe or fittings downstream.

Key Features

• Reduces 1.5-inch female thread to 1-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• Threaded on both ends for tool-tightened, seal-tape or pipe-dope installation
• Compact bushing profile eliminates the need for an extra nipple and coupling
• Single-unit order increment for replacement and low-quantity service calls

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1.5-inch by 1-inch threaded galvanized pipe systems in plumbing, pool, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe-joint compound to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using appropriate pipe wrenches. Do not over-tighten galvanized threaded fittings, as doing so can crack the fitting or damage threads.
