Anvil International Inc 8700128955 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700128955 is a black hex bushing designed to reduce a 1/2 inch female pipe thread to a 1/8 inch male pipe thread. Hex bushings are standard threaded fittings used to transition between two different pipe sizes within the same run. The external hex drive allows for wrench tightening without the need for a pipe wrench on the fitting body itself. This fitting is finished in black and is suited for low-pressure piping systems in residential and light commercial applications. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on gas, air, or fluid distribution lines.

This hex bushing is used in piping assemblies where a fitting, valve, gauge, or instrument with a 1/8 inch male port must connect to a 1/2 inch female port in a pipeline or manifold. Common applications include gas distribution systems, compressed air lines, and hydronic piping. The black finish indicates a carbon steel or black malleable iron construction, appropriate for dry or low-moisture service environments. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 100 units per package.
