Anvil International Inc 8700135109 Galvanized Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700135109 is a galvanized reducing coupling designed to connect pipe runs of two different sizes in a single threaded fitting. It transitions from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 3/8-inch female thread, allowing a size reduction inline without the need for additional adapters. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this coupling as part of standard threaded pipe assemblies in residential and light commercial systems.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems where a thread-down transition from 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch is required. It is commonly installed in water distribution lines, low-pressure gas lines, and compressed air systems where galvanized threaded fittings are specified. The fitting is sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for service fleets, wholesale restocking, and multi-unit projects.

Key Features

• Compact inline design eliminates the need for separate reducing bushings or extra couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; follow fitting manufacturer torque guidelines and inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
