Brass Sanitary Bush

Product Description

A Brass Sanitary Bush (commonly known as a Reducing Bush) is a compact fitting used to connect two pipes or fittings of different diameters. In sanitary and drainage systems, it is specifically used to "bush down" a larger female port to accept a smaller male connection, or vice versa, while maintaining a smooth internal transition to prevent the trapping of waste.

Key Features

• Space-Saving Reduction: Unlike a bulky reducer coupling, a bush fits almost entirely inside the larger fitting, keeping the plumbing assembly compact.

• Hexagonal Header: Usually designed with a robust hex head for easy installation and high-torque tightening with standard wrenches.

• Precision Threads: Machined with sharp, deep threads (NPT or BSP) to ensure a gas-tight and watertight seal in low-pressure drainage and vent systems.

• Durable Alloy: Made from high-quality brass that resists the corrosive effects of household effluents and cleaning agents.

• Primary Applications

  • Fixture Adaptation: Reducing a larger wall outlet to fit a smaller faucet or appliance supply line.

  • Manifold Adjustments: Adapting various sensor sizes or smaller branch lines into a main sanitary manifold.

  • Drain, Waste, & Vent (DWV): Used in venting systems to transition between different pipe gauges.

  • Industrial Wash-Down: Connecting specialized nozzles or smaller flexible hoses to larger rigid brass piping.
