Anvil International Inc 8700129300 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129300 is a black hex bushing used to reduce a larger female-threaded pipe opening to a smaller male-threaded pipe connection. Hex bushings are a standard fitting in piping systems, allowing tradespeople to transition between two different pipe sizes at a single threaded joint without the need for a separate coupling or nipple. This bushing features a 1-inch female thread and a 1/2-inch male thread. The hex head provides a flat surface for wrench engagement, making installation straightforward in tight spaces. It is a unit-sold fitting commonly stocked in quantity on commercial and residential plumbing and mechanical jobs.

This hex bushing is suited for use in black iron piping systems typically found in gas distribution, compressed air, and industrial fluid lines. It is installed wherever a 1-inch threaded port must be reduced to accept a 1/2-inch threaded component such as a valve, gauge, fitting, or appliance connection. The black finish indicates an uncoated, non-galvanized iron construction standard for dry or low-moisture piping applications.

Key Features

• 1-inch female thread to 1/2-inch male thread reduction
• Hex body design allows wrench engagement for secure, leak-free assembly
• Black iron finish appropriate for gas and compressed air piping
• Sold individually with package quantity of 25 units available

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for 1-inch to 1/2-inch threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on gas or mechanical piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Torque to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per applicable code; do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting or damage threads.
