Anvil International Inc 8700130902 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700130902 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a female pipe thread from a larger nominal size to a smaller nominal size in threaded piping systems. The bushing measures 1-1/4 inches on the female end and 1/2 inches on the male end, making it a standard reducing fitting for joining pipes of two different diameters. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded iron or steel pipe assemblies in residential and commercial settings.

This hex bushing is used in threaded piping systems where a reduction from 1-1/4 inches to 1/2 inches is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air systems, natural gas and propane distribution piping, and general industrial fluid handling. The hex shoulder profile allows for secure wrench engagement during installation, reducing the chance of thread damage or cross-threading. It is sold in a package quantity of 35 pieces, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing contractors and supply houses.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the fluid service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Use a pipe wrench on the hex shoulder to tighten the fitting and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
