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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces 1.5-inch female thread to 1.25-inch male thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in water service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex body profile for wrench engagement during installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for tool-tightened, leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy single-hand handling during install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 675135961320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AQUALINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GHXB-1512\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AQUALINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396259938610,"sku":"GHXB-1512","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312834233.jpg?v=1782828442","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/aqualine-ghxb-1512-threaded-galvanized-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
