Anvil International Inc 8700130357 Hex Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130357 is a galvanized hex reducing bushing designed to transition pipe threads from a 3/8-inch female connection down to a 1/8-inch male connection. This fitting is a standard component in piping assemblies where thread size reduction is needed without adding excessive bulk. The hex body allows for secure wrench engagement during installation and removal. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for use in a wide range of plumbing and mechanical piping applications. This unit is sold in a package of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for contractors and service technicians stocking field inventory.

This hex reducing bushing is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and general mechanical piping assemblies. It is typically installed wherever a larger threaded port or fitting must accept a smaller-diameter pipe or fitting. The package quantity of 50 units per package supports job-site or shop stocking needs for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who regularly work with threaded pipe assemblies requiring size transitions.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/8-inch female thread to 1/8-inch male thread for compact inline size transitions
• Hex body design allows full wrench engagement for proper torque and secure seating
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in standard piping environments
• Sold in a 50-piece package, supporting volume stocking for contractors
• Compact form factor minimizes added length in tight piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock hex reducing bushing for use in threaded piping systems requiring a 3/8-inch to 1/8-inch NPT reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off the relevant supply line and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex body for controlled wrench engagement to avoid cracking or cross-threading.
