Anvil International Inc 8700130407 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130407 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a 3/8-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch male thread. Hex bushings of this type are standard fittings used to transition between two different pipe thread sizes within a threaded piping system. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to water, gas, and general plumbing applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded reducer connection is required.

This hex bushing is commonly used in water supply, natural gas distribution, compressed air, and general-purpose piping systems. The 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch reduction makes it appropriate for branch connections, instrument ports, and equipment inlets where a step-down in pipe size is needed at a threaded joint. It is sold in a package of 100 units, making it a practical stock item for plumbing contractors and supply houses.
