Anvil 0332814805 Black Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332814805 is a Schedule 160 black steel pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured with threaded ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings and valves. The heavy-wall Schedule 160 construction provides greater pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 or 80 nipples, making it appropriate for demanding piping systems. The black finish coating is standard for carbon steel pipe products used in gas, steam, and industrial fluid distribution. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple when connecting pipe runs to valves, headers, or threaded equipment ports in both commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for use in high-pressure or high-temperature piping systems where Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 wall thickness is insufficient. Typical applications include steam lines, industrial process piping, fire suppression system branches, and gas distribution headers. The compact 1-1/2 inch length makes it useful as a close nipple substitute where a short threaded extension is needed between fittings. The 3/4 inch pipe size is one of the most common in commercial HVAC and plumbing rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium before making up threads. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; engage threads fully by hand before applying wrench torque to avoid cross-threading or fitting damage.
