Anvil International Inc 8700163606 Galvanized Union

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700163606 is a 1-1/2 inch Class 150 galvanized union designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. Unions allow sections of threaded pipe to be disconnected and reconnected without rotating the pipe itself, making them essential for maintenance access points and service connections. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water and general-purpose piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and commercial systems where Class 150 threaded fittings are specified.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general mechanical piping installations where a 1-1/2 inch threaded disconnect point is required. Class 150 galvanized unions are commonly installed at equipment connections, water heaters, boilers, and service valves to allow future servicing without cutting pipe. The galvanized coating makes this fitting appropriate for wet or damp environments where bare iron would be subject to surface corrosion.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all male threads and tighten to proper engagement with pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten the union nut, as this can crack the seat and cause leaks.
