Anvil 0318906484 Black Hex Bushing 3/4x1/4 in 150 Psi

Product Description

The ANVIL 0318906484 is a black hex bushing for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution systems. It reduces a 3/4-inch female thread down to a 1/4-inch male thread, allowing technicians to transition between pipe sizes within a single fitting. Constructed from Class 150 domestic malleable iron with a black finish, this bushing is pressure-rated to 150 psi for both liquid and gas service. It weighs 0.14 pounds, making it easy to handle during tight-space installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where threaded iron pipe systems require a step-down reduction. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, steam heating systems rated to 150 psi, compressed air distribution, and water supply manifolds. The hex profile accepts a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench, making field installation straightforward. It is sold individually as a single-piece unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex profile only and avoid torquing against connected pipe or fittings.
