Anvil International Inc 8700134300 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700134300 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect piping of two different sizes in a single inline fitting. It transitions from a 1-inch pipe to a 3/4-inch pipe and is manufactured with a black finish typical of malleable iron pipe fittings used in gas, air, and general industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting where a pipe run needs to step down in diameter without offsetting the centerline. The black finish provides corrosion resistance suited for dry or low-moisture environments.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. It is suited for threaded pipe systems following NPT standards. The 1-inch inlet to 3/4-inch outlet configuration is a common reduction used when transitioning a main supply line to a branch or appliance connection.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-inch pipe to 3/4-inch pipe in a straight inline configuration
• Black finish for use in gas, air, and general industrial pipe systems
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT pipe threads
• Sold in a package quantity of 35 units per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems using 1-inch and 3/4-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and fuel gas codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off gas or air supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack malleable iron.
