Anvil International Inc 8700134359 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700134359 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 1-inch nominal pipe size on one end to a 1/2-inch nominal pipe size on the other, allowing installers to step down pipe diameter within a run. This type of fitting is a standard component in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during new construction and retrofit work where pipe size reductions are required.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications. It is commonly used in water supply, gas, and general-purpose black iron piping systems where a 1-inch to 1/2-inch transition is needed. The black finish is standard for gas piping and non-potable applications. It is sold in a package quantity of 45 units, making it appropriate for contractors stocking trade supplies for multiple jobs.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1-inch nominal to 1/2-inch nominal pipe size
• Black finish suitable for gas and mechanical piping applications
• Threaded fitting design for standard NPT pipe connections
• Package quantity of 45 units per order unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock reducing coupling for threaded black iron piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/2-inch pipe size transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
