Anvil International Inc 8700129656 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129656 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect two different pipe sizes within a threaded piping system. This fitting reduces a 1.5-inch female threaded port down to a 1-inch male threaded connection, making it a standard solution for changing pipe diameter in low-pressure fluid or gas distribution lines. The hex body allows for easy installation with a wrench, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition point. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing in residential and light commercial piping systems where a concentric reducer is needed without adding significant inline length.

This hex reducing bushing is suited for use in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and general industrial piping applications where black iron pipe fittings are specified. Its black finish indicates it is not galvanized, making it appropriate for gas service lines and dry systems where corrosion protection through galvanizing is not required or permitted. Plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded black iron systems will encounter this fitting as a common, off-the-shelf reducer.

• Reduces 1.5-inch female thread to 1-inch male thread in a single compact fitting

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and gas codes, including the IPC and IFGC where enforced. Always shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the bushing into place. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack the fitting or damage mating threads.
