Anvil International Inc 8700129904 Hex Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129904 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect pipes of two different diameters within a threaded piping system. With a 2-inch male end and a 1-1/4-inch female end, this bushing provides a compact, in-line reduction without the need for a coupling and nipple combination. The hex shoulder allows for wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-resistant connection. This fitting is a standard component in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping assemblies where pipe size transitions are required.

This hex reducing bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping applications including water distribution, low-pressure gas lines, and general mechanical systems where threaded black iron fittings are specified. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of bushing in tight spaces where a standard reducing coupling may not fit. It is commonly used with Schedule 40 black iron pipe in gas supply and mechanical room piping runs.

Key Features

• 2-inch male NPT x 1-1/4-inch female NPT configuration provides in-line pipe size reduction
• Hex shoulder design allows full wrench engagement for proper torque and seating
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and mechanical system applications
• Compact bushing form eliminates the need for separate coupling and nipple
• Sold in a package of 15 units, practical for wholesale and service truck stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for threaded black iron piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation, and use a pipe wrench on the hex shoulder to tighten to a proper fit. All gas piping installations must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).
