Anvil 0332810001 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160 1/2x1-1/2

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332810001 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe fittings in high-pressure piping systems. At Schedule 160 wall thickness, this nipple is built for demanding applications where standard-weight pipe would be insufficient. It measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length with NPT threads on both ends. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a short run between threaded fittings, valves, or equipment connections. The black finish is standard for non-corrosive interior piping applications including steam, gas, and hydronic systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where high-pressure or high-temperature conditions require heavier wall construction. Typical uses include close-coupled connections between valves, strainers, pressure gauges, and other threaded components in steam, hot water heating, and gas distribution piping. Its compact 1.5-inch length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where a close nipple is not feasible but a long nipple would create excess offset.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service
• Black steel construction suitable for steam, gas, and hydronic applications
• 0.5-inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 1.5-inch overall length for short-run close-coupled connections
• Black finish — no galvanizing, appropriate for dry interior piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 0.5-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 160 wall nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as Schedule 160 fittings in small diameters can crack if excessive force is applied without proper support.
