Anvil International Inc 8700129151 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129151 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect two threaded pipe sections of different sizes. It reduces a 3/4-inch female thread down to a 3/8-inch male thread, allowing tradespeople to transition between pipe sizes within a single fitting. This type of bushing is a standard component in black iron pipe assemblies and is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics. The hex design provides a flat wrench surface for secure installation and proper torque without slipping.

This hex reducing bushing is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and HVAC piping systems where black iron pipe is specified. It is suited for applications involving natural gas, propane, compressed air, and similar services where black pipe fittings are the standard material of choice. Plumbers and pipefitters typically encounter this fitting when transitioning supply lines, connecting equipment inlets, or building out branch assemblies in mechanical rooms and utility spaces.
