Anvil International Inc 8700130506 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130506 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce pipe thread connections from a 1/2-inch male NPT fitting down to a 1/4-inch female NPT port. The hex body allows for secure wrench engagement during installation, making it a standard fitting for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and industrial piping systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and select gas service applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of threaded iron or steel pipe runs.

This hex bushing is used in residential and commercial applications wherever a threaded pipe size reduction is required inline. Common install scenarios include branch connections, gauge ports, drain taps, and instrument takeoffs on iron pipe systems. The 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch size reduction is one of the most frequently used bushing combinations in light commercial and residential mechanical systems. It is sold in a package quantity of 100 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free connection without stressing the fitting body.
