Anvil International Inc 8700130456 Hex Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130456 is a galvanized hex reducing bushing designed to connect pipes of two different sizes within a threaded piping system. Sized at 1/2 inch male NPT to 1/8 inch female NPT, this bushing provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant transition between pipe runs. The galvanized finish adds a layer of protection against rust and moisture, making it suited for use in wet or moderately corrosive environments. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on low-pressure piping assemblies.

This hex reducing bushing is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air, and general industrial piping systems where a threaded size reduction is required. The hex design allows for standard wrench engagement, simplifying installation in tight spaces. It is sold in a package quantity of 100 units, making it practical for contractors stocking materials for multiple jobs or service calls.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for wet and damp environments
• Hex outer profile allows secure wrench or pipe wrench engagement during installation
• 1/2 inch male NPT to 1/8 inch female NPT threaded configuration for common size reductions
• Sold in a package quantity of 100 units for contractor-level supply
• Standard tapered NPT threads for leak-resistant, pressure-rated connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in standard NPT threaded piping systems requiring a reducing connection from 1/2 inch to 1/8 inch pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Use a wrench on the hex profile to tighten the bushing; avoid overtightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads. Shut off and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting replacement or installation work.
