Anvil International Inc 8700135158 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700135158 is a galvanized reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. This fitting steps down from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 1/4-inch female thread, allowing installers to transition between pipe sizes without additional adapters. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of reducing coupling when modifying or extending existing threaded iron or steel pipe runs.

This reducing coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping installations where a threaded transition between 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch pipe is required. It is commonly installed at branch takeoffs, instrument connections, pressure gauge ports, and similar low-flow service points within a larger piping system. The fitting arrives ready for installation with standard NPT-compatible threading.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Reduces from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch female NPT thread
• Threaded on both ends for tool-based wrench installation
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded iron and steel pipe systems in plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading the coupling into place. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free joint without stressing the fitting.
