Anvil International Inc 8700129359 Black Hex Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129359 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect pipe segments of different diameters in threaded piping systems. It steps down from a 1-inch female thread to a 3/4-inch male thread, allowing trades to reduce pipe size at a fitting rather than replacing a full run. The hex body provides a flat-to-flat grip surface for standard pipe wrenches, making installation straightforward in tight spaces. This bushing is a staple fitting for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with black iron or steel piping assemblies.

Black hex reducing bushings are used across residential and light commercial applications wherever threaded pipe systems require a size transition. Common installation scenarios include gas distribution piping, steam and hydronic heating systems, and general industrial fluid conveyance. The 1-inch to 3/4-inch reduction is one of the most frequently specified transitions in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility connections. This package contains 25 pieces per unit of measure, making it suitable for contractors stocking a service van or completing a larger installation.

Key Features

• 1-inch female to 3/4-inch male threaded reduction for size-transition connections in threaded piping systems
• Hex body design allows secure torque application with a standard pipe wrench or pliers
• Black finish consistent with black iron pipe fittings used in gas and hydronic systems
• Sold in a 25-piece package suitable for production installs or van stock replenishment
• Package weight of 4 pounds supports shipping and job-site weight planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 1-inch to 3/4-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Before installing or replacing any threaded fitting, shut off the gas or fluid supply and verify the line is depressurized. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats and a properly sized wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without stressing the fitting body.
