Anvil International Inc 8700133559 Malleable Coupling 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700133559 is a 1/2 inch galvanized malleable iron right-hand coupling designed for threaded pipe connections in mechanical and plumbing systems. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to withstand vibration and mechanical stress in piping runs. The right-hand thread pattern is the standard configuration for most pipe fitting applications. This coupling is sold in a package quantity of 20 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or completing multi-connection installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. Common applications include water supply lines, low-pressure steam systems, and gas distribution piping where a threaded union between two pipe sections is required. The 1/2 inch size fits standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter. Its galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately wet environments.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal size for standard threaded pipe connections
• Malleable iron construction resists cracking and handles mechanical stress
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion protection in wet or exposed installations
• Right-hand thread pattern matches standard pipe and fitting thread conventions
• Sold in a package of 20 units for multi-connection jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 1/2 inch nominal threaded pipe systems using right-hand thread engagement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before engagement to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
