Anvil International Inc 8700130308 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130308 is a galvanized hex bushing used to reduce a 1/4-inch female fitting to a 1/8-inch male thread. Hex bushings of this type serve as threaded reducers in low-pressure piping assemblies, allowing technicians to connect two pipes or fittings of different sizes within the same run. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments. This fitting is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics during rough-in and service work on gas, water, and air lines.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a compact threaded reducer is needed between NPT-threaded components. Its hex body allows for wrench engagement during tightening, making installation straightforward in tight spaces. Typical use cases include connecting smaller-diameter branch lines or instrumentation ports into larger main line fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
