Anvil International Inc 8700162905 Black Union 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700162905 is a 3/8 inch black union fitting rated for 150 psi service. It is a threaded pipe union used to join two sections of black iron pipe while allowing future disconnection without cutting or threading new pipe ends. The fitting suits gas, water, and general-purpose piping systems where a serviceable break point is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians install this fitting as part of rough-in and service work on residential and light commercial systems.

This black union fitting is suited for low-pressure gas distribution piping, water supply lines, and general industrial piping applications. The 3/8 inch size accommodates smaller branch lines and appliance connections. Its black iron finish makes it appropriate for natural gas and propane piping systems where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code. It is sold in a package quantity of 40 units, making it practical for stocking jobsite and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply thread sealant rated for the service medium to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten the union nut; snug plus appropriate turns by hand and wrench is standard practice without a specific torque value applied.
