Anvil International 0819906645 Hex Bushing 1 in X 3/4 in

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL 0819906645 is a galvanized malleable iron hex bushing rated for 150 psi service. It reduces a 1-inch female pipe thread to a 3/4-inch male pipe thread, making it a standard reducing fitting for threaded pipe assemblies. The hex body allows full wrench engagement for secure installation without slippage. Lead-free construction makes it suitable for potable water and general plumbing systems where lead-free compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial and residential water distribution, hydronic heating, or industrial pipe runs will find this a reliable, code-appropriate fitting.

This hex bushing is used in threaded galvanized pipe systems where a pipe or fitting size reduction is needed at a junction point. Common applications include water supply lines, low-pressure steam lines, hydronic distribution headers, and general industrial piping. Its malleable iron body handles the mechanical stress of threaded assembly better than cast iron, resisting cracking under torque. This fitting ships as a single unit and is appropriate for interior mechanical systems. Note: this product is prohibited from shipping to California.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-inch female NPT to 3/4-inch male NPT in a single fitting
• Rated to 150 psi for safe use in standard low-pressure plumbing and hydronic systems
• Lead-free construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• Hex body profile provides full wrench engagement for proper torque without rounding
• Hot-dip galvanized malleable iron resists corrosion in wet service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1-inch x 3/4-inch NPT threaded galvanized pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male threads. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid supply before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the body. Verify local code requirements, including IPC or IFGC provisions, before installing in potable water or gas-adjacent systems.
