Aqualine GHXB-1575 Threaded Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-1575 is a threaded galvanized steel bushing designed to reduce a 1.5-inch female threaded port down to a 0.75-inch male threaded connection. Galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments. This type of reducing bushing is a standard fitting used by plumbers and pipefitters to join pipes of different diameters within threaded piping systems. It weighs 0.57 pounds and is sized at 1.5 inches by 0.75 inches, making it a compact, direct-thread solution for schedule-40-compatible threaded pipe work.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded pipe reduction is needed between 1.5-inch and 0.75-inch connections. Common installation scenarios include water supply lines, irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, and general-purpose fluid distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and pipe installers typically incorporate this fitting into threaded black iron or galvanized pipe assemblies wherever a concentric thread reduction is required.

Key Features

• Reduces 1.5-inch female thread to 0.75-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Standard threaded design compatible with schedule-40 threaded pipe fittings
• Compact form factor at 0.57 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit threaded reducing bushing for 1.5-inch to 0.75-inch threaded galvanized pipe systems in plumbing and pool applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe installers in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe-joint compound to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can crack galvanized coatings or damage threads.
