Anvil 0332809805 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332809805 is a black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 160 wall thickness, designed for high-pressure piping systems where standard-schedule fittings are insufficient. At 0.5 inches nominal diameter and 1.125 inches in length, this close nipple fits tight-clearance installations where minimal thread engagement is required. The black finish indicates an uncoated steel surface suited for gas, oil, steam, and water systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as a threaded connector between fittings, valves, and pipe runs in both residential and light commercial applications.

Schedule 160 nipples are selected when system pressure or mechanical stress exceeds the capacity of Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 fittings. This 0.5-inch nipple is a standard component in compressed air lines, hydraulic systems, natural gas distribution, fuel oil lines, and steam piping. Its compact 1.125-inch body makes it appropriate for manifold assemblies and back-to-back fitting connections where a longer nipple would not fit. Installers working on boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial process lines commonly stock this size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads on high-schedule pipe.
