Lee Brass 60-1440533LF Hex Bushing 2-1/2 X 1-1/4

Product Description

The LEE BRASS 60-1440533LF is a hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter in plumbing and piping systems. The bushing measures 2-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches, making it suitable for transitioning between those two common pipe sizes. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on residential or commercial water supply systems. The lead-free designation in the part number indicates compliance with applicable drinking water safety standards.

This hex bushing fits into standard threaded pipe assemblies where a reduction in pipe size is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and service connections where a 2-1/2-inch threaded port must be reduced to accept 1-1/4-inch pipe or fittings. It is appropriate for use in new construction, renovation, and repair work where lead-free materials are required by code.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading the bushing into place. Use an appropriate pipe wrench on the hex body to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Apply thread sealant tape or compound as required by the fitting material and system pressure rating.
