Anvil International Inc 8700163556 Galvanized Union

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700163556 is a 1-1/4 inch Class 150 galvanized union designed for threaded pipe assemblies in water, gas, and general industrial piping systems. A union fitting allows a section of pipe to be disconnected without disturbing adjacent pipe runs, making it essential for maintenance and service access on threaded systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of above-ground and dry indoor applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting on commercial and residential piping systems.

This union is sized for 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe and is rated at Class 150, making it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in residential and light commercial applications. Typical use cases include boiler piping, water distribution, HVAC hydronic systems, and general utility piping where future disconnection of a pipe segment is anticipated. The fitting is sold in packages of 8 units, making it practical for contractors stocking multiple fittings for a project.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe system before removing or installing any union fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten the union nut, as this can damage the ground joint seat and cause leaks.
