Aqualine HXB-1050 Threaded Brass Bushing 1 X 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The AQUALINE HXB-1050 is a threaded brass bushing designed to reduce a 1-inch female threaded port down to a 1/2-inch male threaded connection. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. At 0.26 pounds, this compact fitting is a standard component in piping assemblies where a threaded reducer is needed. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals during system assembly or repair work.

This bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, pool and spa plumbing, and irrigation supply lines where a 1-inch to 1/2-inch threaded reduction is required. Its all-brass body handles common service pressures found in these systems. The fitting accepts standard NPT threads, making it compatible with the wide range of threaded pipe and fittings used across these trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trades professional. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings or installing this bushing. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Tighten to hand-snug first, then use a pipe wrench for final seating without over-torquing brass threads.
