Aqualine GHXB-2050 Threaded Galvanized Bushing 2x0.5in

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-2050 is a threaded galvanized bushing designed to reduce a 2-inch pipe connection down to a 0.5-inch pipe connection. This type of reducing bushing is a standard fitting used in water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing systems where pipe size transitions are required. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply and drainage applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation technicians typically install this fitting when connecting pipes or valves of differing nominal diameters in both residential and light commercial systems.

This bushing is suited for threaded piping systems where a 2-inch to 0.5-inch reduction is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, pool and spa plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and general mechanical piping. The threaded connection style allows for tool-assisted installation without soldering or solvent welding, making it a practical choice in retrofit and repair scenarios as well as new construction.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for water supply and general plumbing use
• Reduces a 2-inch threaded connection to a 0.5-inch threaded connection
• Threaded on both male and female ends for standard pipe thread compatibility
• Compact, durable construction suitable for residential and light commercial applications
• Weighs 0.93 pounds — practical weight for standard fitting applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting for threaded galvanized piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 0.5-inch reducing bushing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all male threads before assembly and tighten with appropriate pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free joint without over-torquing. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
