Anvil International Inc 8700130746 Hex Reducing Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130746 is a galvanized hex reducing bushing designed to connect pipes of two different diameters within threaded piping systems. This bushing features a 1-inch male NPT thread on the outer hex body and a 1/4-inch female NPT thread on the interior, allowing a smooth transition between pipe sizes. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, HVAC piping, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work where pipe diameter changes are required.

This hex reducing bushing is used in residential and commercial threaded pipe assemblies where a reduction from 1-inch to 1/4-inch pipe is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and HVAC hydronic piping. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for reliable, leak-free makeup.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system before servicing any threaded connection. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before makeup, following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
