Anvil International Inc 8700135208 Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700135208 is a galvanized reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 1/2-inch female thread to a 1/8-inch female thread, allowing a controlled reduction in line size without additional fittings. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and general-purpose piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and repair work where a direct pipe size reduction is required in a threaded assembly.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded line must step down from 1/2 inch to 1/8 inch. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, compressed air systems, and general industrial plumbing where galvanized fittings are specified. It is sold in a package quantity of 20 units, making it practical for contractors stocking fittings for multiple jobs.

Key Features

• Reduces from 1/2-inch to 1/8-inch female thread in a single fitting
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Threaded connection on both ends for standard NPT assembly
• Packaged in quantities of 20 units per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for threaded galvanized piping systems requiring a 1/2-inch to 1/8-inch diameter reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using standard pipe wrenches and thread-sealing tape or pipe joint compound rated for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or making new connections. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fitting material and thread engagement minimums. Do not overtighten threaded galvanized fittings, as this can crack the fitting or damage mating threads.
