Anvil International Inc 8700129953 Black Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700129953 is a black hex reducing bushing designed to connect pipe runs of two different sizes within a threaded piping system. It features a 2-inch male threaded end and a 1.5-inch female threaded end, allowing a transition between pipe diameters without additional fittings. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for controlled tightening during installation. This type of fitting is a standard component in plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and industrial piping work, and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters.

This reducing bushing is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded reduction from 2 inches to 1.5 inches is required. Common applications include branch line reductions, equipment connections, and service piping transitions. The black finish indicates a non-galvanized iron construction, making it a typical choice for gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and similar dry-service applications.

Key Features

• Hex body design provides full wrench engagement for secure, leak-free assembly
• 2-inch male NPT to 1.5-inch female NPT threaded connection
• Black iron finish suited for gas, air, and dry-service piping applications
• Sold in packages of 20 units per pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for threaded black iron piping systems using NPT connections at 2-inch and 1.5-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to a firm, wrench-tight fit. Follow applicable local codes, including IPC or IFGC requirements, for gas or water piping systems.
