Aqualine GHXB-1512 Threaded Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-1512 is a threaded galvanized steel bushing used to reduce pipe connections from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread. This hex bushing is a standard fitting in plumbing, HVAC piping, and pool or irrigation systems where galvanized steel pipe is specified. It steps down from a 1.5-inch female thread to a 1.25-inch male thread, allowing installers to transition between pipe sizes without additional adapters. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply and general service piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial work.

This bushing fits into threaded pipe systems where a 1.5-inch to 1.25-inch reduction is required. Common applications include water supply lines, pool equipment plumbing, HVAC chilled or condenser water piping, and general utility piping runs. The fitting is ordered in single-unit increments, making it easy to stock for service calls or small installations where only one transition point is needed.

Key Features

• Reduces 1.5-inch female thread to 1.25-inch male thread
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in water service applications
• Hex body profile for wrench engagement during installation and removal
• Threaded on both ends for tool-tightened, leak-resistant connections
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy single-hand handling during install

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread galvanized hex bushing for use in NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 1.5-inch to 1.25-inch size reduction.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should install this fitting in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before disassembling or assembling any threaded pipe joint. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Use a pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a proper seal without over-stressing the fitting.
