Anvil International Inc 8700129052 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129052 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect pipe threads of two different sizes within a piping system. It reduces a 1/2 inch female thread down to a 3/8 inch male thread, making it a standard fitting for transitioning between pipe sizes without additional couplings or adapters. The black iron finish is suited for use in gas, air, and non-potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of routine service and new construction work.

This hex bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where a threaded size reduction is needed at a junction point. The hex body allows for easy wrench engagement during installation, reducing the risk of fitting damage. It is typically found in applications such as gas line connections, compressed air systems, and black iron pipe assemblies.

Installation Notes
