Anvil International Inc 8700129102 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129102 is a black hex bushing used to reduce a larger female pipe thread to a smaller male pipe thread in a single fitting. The external hex body allows for standard wrench installation without the need for a pipe wrench on the fitting itself. This bushing is finished in black, indicating a black malleable iron or black steel construction suited for non-corrosive piping applications including gas, air, and water systems. It transitions from a 3/4 inch female thread to a 1/4 inch male thread. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas line technicians routinely use hex bushings to adapt pipe sizes within a run without adding unnecessary fittings.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 3/4 inch to 1/4 inch reduction is required. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing branch connections. The hex body design makes it especially practical in tight spaces where a reducer coupling would require additional fittings and clearance. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch female NPT inlet to 1/4 inch male NPT outlet reduction
• External hex body for wrench-flat engagement during installation
• Black finish suitable for gas, air, and non-potable water piping
• Compact single-fitting design reduces the need for additional adapters
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hex bushing for standard NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 3/4 inch to 1/4 inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; snug wrench-tight engagement is sufficient for a proper seal on standard NPT threads.
