Anvil International Inc 8700129003 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129003 is a black hex bushing designed to reduce a 1/2-inch female pipe thread to a 1/4-inch male pipe thread. Hex bushings are standard threaded fittings used to connect pipes or components of different sizes within a single run of piping. The external hex flats allow a wrench to seat the fitting securely without marring adjacent pipe threads. This fitting is finished in black, indicating a standard black iron construction typical of gas, air, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these fittings on low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, and general fluid distribution systems.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping where a 1/2-inch pipe connection must step down to a 1/4-inch port. Common applications include gas appliance connections, air compressor manifolds, hydraulic panels, and steam fittings where reducing bushings are required at tees, valves, or equipment inlets. The unit-of-measure is each, sold in packages of 100, making this suitable for stocking in a trade shop or distribution environment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up.
