Anvil 0330504606 Black Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 80

Product Description

The ANVIL 0330504606 is a Schedule 80 seamless black pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter and 12 inches in length. It is manufactured to ASME B1.20.1 and ASTM standards, making it suitable for applications that require a stronger wall thickness than standard Schedule 40 pipe. The black finish coating is applied for corrosion resistance in typical dry piping environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this nipple as a close coupling between threaded fittings in low-pressure gas, steam, or liquid systems where a 1/8 inch diameter connection is specified.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping installations where small-diameter threaded connections are required. Common applications include natural gas pilot lines, instrument air lines, pressure gauge connections, and other low-flow service runs. The Schedule 80 wall construction provides additional mechanical strength over Schedule 40, making it a preferred choice in tight-clearance or higher-pressure service points within a piping assembly.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 seamless construction for greater wall thickness and pressure capability compared to Schedule 40
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe size at 12 inches in length for close-coupled or extended nipple applications
• Black finish coating for corrosion resistance in dry or low-moisture service environments
• Manufactured to ASME B1.20.1 and ASTM standards for consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy
• Threaded ends ready for direct assembly into standard NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded fittings used in gas, steam, and liquid piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements depending on the service fluid. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque small-diameter nipples, as the 1/8 inch size is susceptible to cracking at the thread root under excessive force.
