Anvil 0332811009 Black Pipe Nipple 0.5 in Schedule 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332811009 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems where wall thickness and durability are critical. Measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple features threaded ends for straightforward connection to standard pipe fittings. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction typical of Schedule 160 fittings used in demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple where elevated pressure ratings and robust wall thickness are required by system design or code.

This nipple is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems that call for Schedule 160 wall thickness. Common applications include high-pressure steam lines, hydraulic service lines, and other systems where standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings do not meet the required pressure class. The 0.5-inch diameter and 4-inch length make it a standard close-quarter connector between valves, fittings, and equipment in tight run configurations.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service applications
• 0.5-inch pipe diameter with 4-inch overall length
• Threaded ends for compatibility with standard NPT fittings
• Black finish carbon steel construction for durability in demanding environments
• Compact form factor suitable for close-quarter piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 160 threaded piping systems using 0.5-inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to threaded connections before assembly. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and isolated before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
