Anvil International Inc 8700135000 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700135000 is a galvanized reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 3/8-inch female thread on one end to a 1/4-inch female thread on the other, allowing a step-down connection without additional fittings. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications. This fitting is sold in a package of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking for multiple jobs or service calls.

This reducing coupling is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and refrigerant line support systems, compressed air distribution, and general mechanical piping where a threaded reduction between 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch pipe is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians will encounter this fitting in branch line reductions and service connections throughout typical installations.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Reduces from 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch female threaded ends for inline diameter transitions
• Threaded connection type for secure, tool-tightened assembly
• Sold in a package of 25 for multi-job or bulk stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock reducing coupling for threaded galvanized pipe systems requiring a 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
