Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Brass Hexagon Bush (2 x 1 1/2 inch) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to transition between two different pipe sizes within a plumbing system. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, leak-resistant connection through high-quality brass construction, though users should ensure they have the appropriate thread sealant on hand, as this fitting does not include gaskets or O-rings.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for hot water systems?

Yes, the brass construction is designed to handle both cold and hot water temperatures common in residential plumbing.

Can I use this for gas lines?

This product is designed for general plumbing systems. Check your local building codes to ensure the fitting meets specific certifications for gas applications before use.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

A standard adjustable wrench or pipe wrench is all you need to grip the hexagonal head during installation.

What is the material composition?

The fitting is manufactured from durable plumbing-grade brass.

Is this a NPT thread?

Yes, it uses standard pipe threading compatible with most common plumbing components.

Troubleshooting

The connection is leaking after installation.

Ensure sufficient PTFE tape was applied to the threads. If it continues to leak, remove the bush, re-apply the sealant, and ensure the fitting is threaded straight to avoid cross-threading.

Fitting is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the threads are compatible and clean. Using a small amount of pipe lubricant or ensuring the threads are correctly aligned can help the bush seat more easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable brass material
  • Easy to tighten with standard tools
  • Provides a secure, permanent connection
  • Corrosion-resistant for long service life

Cons

  • Requires thread sealant or tape for a leak-proof connection
  • Heavy compared to plastic or PVC alternatives
  • Not suitable for use with non-threaded pipe systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure that both the 2-inch and 1 1/2-inch pipes are clean and free of debris. Apply a high-quality thread sealant tape (PTFE) or pipe joint compound to the male threads of the bush before threading it into the larger pipe. Use a properly sized wrench to tighten the bush until it is snug.

Compatibility: This part is compatible with standard 2-inch female pipe fittings and 1 1/2-inch male pipe connections.

Care: Periodically inspect the joint for signs of moisture or green oxidation, which may indicate a slow leak. In standard indoor conditions, the brass material is designed to last for many years without special maintenance.
