Anvil International Inc 8700131157 Galv Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700131157 is a galvanized hex bushing designed to reduce a larger threaded pipe opening to a smaller pipe size. This fitting accepts a 1-1/2 inch female thread on the outer end and a 1 inch male thread on the inner end. The hex body allows for wrench engagement during installation, providing secure tightening without slipping. The galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, drainage, and general plumbing piping systems. This bushing is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both commercial and residential applications.

This hex bushing is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a transition from 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch pipe is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, low-pressure gas distribution piping, industrial plumbing systems, and HVAC hydronic piping. The galvanized steel construction makes it appropriate for exposed or mildly corrosive environments. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 pieces, making it suitable for contractors stocking common reducing fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly.
