Anvil International Inc 8700129409 Hex Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129409 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect piping of two different sizes within threaded pipe systems. It features a 1-1/4 inch male NPT thread on the larger end and a 1/2 inch female NPT thread on the smaller end, allowing for straightforward inline diameter reduction without the need for additional fittings. The black finish indicates a standard malleable iron or black pipe fitting material commonly specified in gas distribution, fire suppression, and industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of bushing during rough-in and assembly of threaded black iron pipe systems.

This hex reducing bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a transition from 1-1/4 inch to 1/2 inch threaded pipe is required. Typical applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, compressed air headers, and general industrial fluid piping. The hex body profile allows for secure wrench engagement during installation and removal, making it practical in tight or congested pipe chases. This package contains 35 pieces, making it appropriate for contractors stocking job boxes or supply houses managing bulk pipe fitting inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench on the hex body and stop when the joint is snug and leak-free after pressure testing.
