Anvil International Inc 8700134201 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700134201 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in a single inline fitting. It reduces from a 3/4-inch pipe thread to a 3/8-inch pipe thread, making it a practical choice for transitioning between pipe sizes in low-pressure piping systems. The black finish indicates a standard black malleable iron coating, commonly used in gas, air, and general-purpose piping applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians as part of routine pipe assembly or repair work.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded inline size transition is required. Its compact form factor fits into tight spaces where a reducer bushing may not provide sufficient thread engagement. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general black iron pipe assemblies. The fitting ships in a package quantity of 50 units, making it a practical stocking item for service contractors and supply houses.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the gas or air supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with proper technique to achieve a secure, leak-free joint.
