Anvil International Inc 8700130803 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130803 is a galvanized hex bushing used to reduce a larger threaded pipe opening to a smaller one. Sized at 1 inch by 1/2 inch, it features a hex shoulder for wrench engagement, allowing a secure, torque-controlled connection without pipe-strap damage. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or damp environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in threaded iron or steel pipe systems where a concentric reducer is needed at a tee, coupling, or fitting outlet. It is sold in packages of 25 units.

This hex bushing suits residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications where NPT-threaded steel or iron pipe is used. The 1-inch male thread engages a 1-inch female fitting while the 1/2-inch female thread accepts the downstream pipe or component. Its compact hex body makes it useful in tight spaces where a full reducing coupling would not fit.

Key Features

• 1 inch male NPT by 1/2 inch female NPT configuration for concentric pipe reduction
• Hex shoulder design allows standard wrench engagement for proper tightening
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet, damp, or outdoor-exposed piping
• Compact bushing profile fits tight clearances where full couplings will not
• Sold in a 25-unit package for job-lot or service-truck stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1-inch to 1/2-inch NPT-threaded iron or steel pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before threading the bushing into the female fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per local plumbing code requirements, referencing IPC or IFGC standards as applicable. Do not over-tighten; use a wrench on the hex shoulder only and avoid using the downstream female thread as a drive point.
