Anvil 0332638808 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x8 Sch 80

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332638808 is a black steel threaded pipe nipple used to create rigid, close-coupled connections in gas, steam, and liquid piping systems. It is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness, which provides greater pressure capacity and heavier wall construction compared to Schedule 40. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple is installed between threaded pipe fittings, valves, and equipment flanges. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of nipple in commercial and industrial piping work where code-compliant, pressure-rated black iron connections are required.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, compressed air piping, and hydronic heating systems. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications and provides a baseline level of surface protection during installation. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it an appropriate choice in higher-pressure service environments where standard Schedule 40 nipples would be undersized for the application.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• 2-inch nominal pipe diameter with NPT threads on both ends
• 8-inch overall length suitable for close-coupled equipment spacing
• Black finish standard for gas piping and steam applications
• Threaded ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and couplings without additional fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use component for 2-inch Schedule 80 threaded black steel piping systems in commercial and industrial plumbing, gas, and steam installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded piping components. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or pipe joint compound rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings for damage before assembly.
