Anvil International Inc 8700131256 Galvanized Hex Bushing

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700131256 is a galvanized hex bushing used to reduce a larger threaded pipe opening to a smaller one. This fitting connects a 2-inch female threaded port to a 1/2-inch male threaded outlet. The hex body provides a flat wrench surface for reliable hand-tightening and tool engagement. The galvanized finish protects against corrosion in typical plumbing and piping environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where pipe size transitions are required in threaded systems.

This hex bushing is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where threaded galvanized fittings are specified. Common install scenarios include water distribution lines, gas piping transitions, and general-purpose pipe assemblies requiring a reduction from 2-inch to 1/2-inch connections. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch female thread to 1/2-inch male thread in a single fitting

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting.
