Anvil International Inc 8700130654 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130654 is a galvanized hex bushing sized at 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch. Hex bushings are threaded pipe fittings used to reduce from a larger female thread to a smaller male thread within the same fitting body. This bushing is galvanized for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in wet or exposed piping environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping systems where a compact, inline pipe reduction is required.

This hex bushing is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical systems wherever a 3/4 inch female NPT port must be reduced to accept a 3/8 inch male NPT connection. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and low-pressure gas piping. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement, making installation straightforward in tight spaces where a full reducing coupling may not fit.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for wet and exposed service environments
• 3/4 inch female NPT inlet reduces to 3/8 inch male NPT outlet in a single compact fitting
• Hex body design accepts standard pipe wrenches and open-end wrenches for secure installation
• Sold in a package quantity of 100 units, suitable for stocking and bulk trade use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems requiring a 3/4 inch to 3/8 inch NPT threaded reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting or damage mating threads.
