Mars 69029153103 Galvanized Hex Bushing 2.5x1.5 in

Product Description

The MARS 69029153103 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread connections from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread. This fitting measures 2.5 inches by 1.5 inches and is manufactured with a galvanized finish to resist corrosion in wet and damp service environments. Hex bushings of this type are standard fittings used in piping systems where a threaded reducer is needed without adding a coupling and nipple combination. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work on water supply, HVAC hydronic, and mechanical piping systems.

This galvanized hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where galvanized steel threaded fittings are specified. It transitions a 2.5-inch female pipe thread to a 1.5-inch male pipe thread, making it a common solution for branch reductions, equipment connections, and service piping where thread-to-thread reducers are required. It is appropriate for use in systems where galvanized steel material is compatible with the fluid and pressure conditions of the installation.

Key Features

• Reduces 2.5-inch female pipe thread to 1.5-inch male pipe thread
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet service conditions
• Hex body allows wrench engagement for proper thread torque during installation
• Threaded male and female ends for tool-tight connection without additional fittings
• Steel construction suitable for mechanical and plumbing piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for galvanized steel threaded piping systems requiring a 2.5-inch to 1.5-inch pipe thread reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten using a pipe wrench on the hex body. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for material compatibility and pressure ratings in the system being serviced.
