Mars 69029134780 Hex Bushing 1.5 X 1 Inch Galvanized

Product Description

The MARS 69029134780 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce pipe connections from a 1.5-inch female thread to a 1-inch male thread. Hex bushings are standard reducing fittings used to transition between two different pipe sizes within the same threaded piping system. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making this fitting suitable for use in water supply, drainage, HVAC condensate, and light industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly specify hex bushings of this type when connecting components with mismatched port sizes.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a threaded reduction is needed at a junction point. Its hex body profile allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal. Typical applications include connecting smaller-diameter valves, gauges, or piping runs to larger-diameter threaded pipe or fittings in water or low-pressure systems.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Hex body profile allows wrench engagement for secure installation and removal
• Reduces 1.5-inch female thread to 1-inch male thread in a single fitting
• Threaded ends for standard NPT-style pipe connections
• Compact form factor fits tight piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for standard threaded piping systems requiring a 1.5-inch to 1-inch reducing hex bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads prior to assembly. Tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex body and follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for thread engagement and pressure ratings.
