Anvil International Inc 8700134755 Black Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700134755 is a black reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. This fitting transitions from a 2-inch pipe to a 1.5-inch pipe and is finished in black for use in standard black iron pipe installations. It is a foundational fitting in gas, compressed air, and industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling during new construction, system modifications, or repair work where a pipe size reduction is required at a threaded joint.

This reducing coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded black iron connection is specified. Common installation scenarios include natural gas distribution lines, fire suppression systems, and general industrial pipe runs. The black finish indicates this is a non-galvanized fitting, which is standard practice for gas piping and applications where galvanized coatings are not permitted or required.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch to 1.5-inch pipe size in a single threaded fitting
• Black iron finish suitable for gas and industrial piping applications
• Threaded connection type for straightforward installation with standard pipe wrenches
• Sold in packages of 5 units per the manufacturer unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems requiring a 2-inch to 1.5-inch reducing connection.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded black iron pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, following applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Use proper pipe wrenches to achieve a secure joint without over-stressing the fitting.
