Anvil International Inc 8700135257 Galvanized Coupling

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700135257 is a galvanized reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in threaded piping systems. It transitions from a 3/4-inch female thread on one end to a 1/2-inch female thread on the other, allowing plumbers and pipefitters to reduce pipe size within a run. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making this fitting suitable for water supply, gas, and general piping applications where moisture exposure is a factor. This coupling is sold in a package of 60 units, making it well suited for contractors and service shops stocking fittings in bulk.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and general mechanical piping wherever a threaded inline reduction from 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch is required. It is a standard pipe fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during new construction, renovation, and repair work. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed installations where bare iron fittings would be prone to surface rust.

Key Features

• Reduces from 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch female threaded connection in a single inline fitting
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with common threaded pipe and fittings
• Packaged in quantities of 60 units for contractor and shop stocking efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock reducing coupling for use in 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch threaded pipe systems using NPT-standard connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack the fitting or damage threads.
