Aqualine GHXB-7550 Threaded Galvanized Bushing

Product Description

The AQUALINE GHXB-7550 is a threaded galvanized steel bushing designed to reduce a 0.75-inch female pipe thread to a 0.5-inch male pipe thread. This type of hex bushing is a standard fitting used in plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial piping systems to connect pipes or components of differing thread sizes. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply lines and similar low-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of new construction and retrofit work where thread-size transitions are required.

The GHXB-7550 fits into residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a 0.75-inch to 0.5-inch threaded reduction is needed. Common install scenarios include water supply risers, irrigation manifolds, and pool or spa plumbing connections where pipe sizing changes between components. It is ordered in single-unit increments, making it practical for targeted repairs as well as larger piping jobs.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in water service applications
• 0.75-inch female pipe thread inlet reduces to 0.5-inch male pipe thread outlet
• Threaded hex bushing profile allows installation and removal with a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench
• Compact design for use in tight plumbing runs with limited clearance
• Single-unit order increment for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 0.75-inch to 0.5-inch threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the male threads before installation to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack galvanized fittings or damage mating threads.
