Anvil International Inc 8700163408 Galvanized Union 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700163408 is a 1/2-inch galvanized union fitting designed for connecting and disconnecting threaded pipe runs in plumbing and mechanical systems. Unions allow a section of pipe to be removed without disturbing the rest of the line, making them a standard component in service-accessible installations. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems.

This 1/2-inch union is suited for threaded pipe assemblies in water supply lines, heating system piping, and similar low-pressure mechanical applications where future serviceability is required. The union design allows a technician to break the connection at a single point without cutting pipe or disturbing upstream and downstream fittings, which is especially useful in equipment isolation and maintenance scenarios.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch pipe size for standard threaded connections
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and mechanical environments
• Union design allows pipe disconnection without disturbing adjacent fittings
• Sold in a package quantity of 40 units per case

Compatibility
