Installation tips for a tight, leak-free fit
Prepare the threads with your preferred thread sealant or PTFE tape according to local code requirements. Hand-tighten the coupling to seat the threads, then finish with a wrench for a secure seal. Avoid overtightening, which can damage threads or the fitting. If you’re replacing an old coupling, ensure the mating fittings are clean and free of burrs or debris to prevent cross-threading and leaks.
Confidence in your choice
Choose the Anvil Galvanized Malleable Iron Reducing Coupling when you need a robust, corrosion-resistant reducer that delivers predictable, dependable performance in threaded piping systems. It’s a practical, straightforward solution that respects common sizing constraints and simplifies your plumbing projects.
