The Plumbright Brass Hexagon Bush (BHB21) is an essential plumbing component designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need to bridge the gap between two different pipe sizes in a water system. Providing a reliable, leak-free 2-inch to 1-inch reduction, this fitting is valued for its robust brass build and precision engineering; however, users must ensure their existing pipe threads are compatible with the specific BSP standard before installation to avoid cross-threading.

Yes, the brass construction is highly resistant to heat and is ideal for both hot and cold water installations.
This fitting is designed for plumbing water systems. Always consult local regulations before using plumbing fittings for gas applications.
It is highly recommended to use PTFE tape or a liquid thread sealant to ensure a 100% leak-free connection.
A correctly sized open-ended wrench or adjustable spanner is all that is required.
The Plumbright Brass Hexagon Bush meets standard construction requirements for general plumbing, but please verify local compliance if installing in a specific potable water system.
Ensure sufficient PTFE tape was applied to the threads and confirm that the threads are not cross-threaded. Re-seat the fitting if necessary.
Check for debris in the threads or ensure you are not cross-threading the pipes. Back the fitting out and re-align.
To install, first ensure the threads of both pipes are clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable PTFE thread seal tape or a high-quality pipe sealing compound to the male threads of the bush. Use an appropriately sized spanner to tighten the bush into the 2-inch fitting, then attach the 1-inch pipe securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the internal threads. Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or weeping after the system has been pressurized. If the brass begins to dull or tarnish, it can be gently cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth; avoid harsh acidic cleaners that may compromise the metal.
