Aqualine GHXB-2520 Threaded Galvanized Bushing 2.5x2 in

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-2520 is a threaded galvanized steel bushing used to reduce a 2.5-inch female pipe thread to a 2-inch male pipe thread. This hex bushing provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant connection point in pipe assemblies where a size transition is needed. The galvanized finish protects against rust in wet or humid environments, making it suitable for water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded iron pipe systems in both new construction and repair work.

This bushing is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where standard NPT threaded galvanized fittings are specified. Typical use cases include connecting dissimilar pipe sizes in water supply lines, pool and spa plumbing headers, and irrigation manifolds. It is well suited for above-ground or in-wall threaded galvanized piping systems that require a durable, code-acceptable reducing connection.

Key Features

• Reduces 2.5-inch female NPT to 2-inch male NPT in a single fitting
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet environments
• Hex body profile allows standard pipe wrench or pliers installation
• Threaded on both ends for tool-tight assembly without welding or soldering
• Weighs 1.19 pounds for a solid, full-metal construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded galvanized pipe systems in plumbing, pool, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before threading this bushing into the fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
