Anvil International Inc 8700162954 Black Union 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700162954 is a 1/2 inch black malleable iron union rated at 150 lb, designed for use in threaded pipe systems. A union fitting allows a pipe run to be disconnected and reconnected without rotating the pipe itself, making it a standard fitting in gas, air, and general-purpose plumbing installations. This fitting is finished in black, indicating it is not galvanized, which suits dry-system and gas-line applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting routinely in both new construction and retrofit work.

This 1/2 inch union is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a removable, leak-free threaded connection is required. Common install scenarios include gas appliance drops, compressed air distribution lines, and general black iron pipe assemblies where future serviceability is a priority. The 150 lb pressure rating covers typical low-pressure gas and air system requirements.

Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any threaded union fitting.
