Anvil International Inc 8700133856 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700133856 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect pipe sections of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 1/4-inch end to a 1/8-inch end, allowing installers to reduce pipe size within a run without additional fittings. The black iron finish makes it suited for gas distribution and similar dry-service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling during rough-in work on gas lines, compressed air systems, and non-potable piping assemblies where a size reduction is required mid-run.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial installations where threaded black iron pipe is the standard. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution systems, and compressed air piping. It fits into any threaded piping layout that requires stepping down from 1/4-inch pipe to 1/8-inch pipe. The coupling is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it a practical choice for service contractors stocking fittings for multiple jobs.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch threaded connections in a single fitting
• Black iron finish suited for gas and dry-service piping applications
• Threaded on both ends for standard NPT connections
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units for contractor-level stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with appropriate leverage for the fitting size to achieve a leak-free joint without damaging threads.
