Anvil 0332817204 Black Pipe Nipple 3/4 in X 12 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332817204 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in high-pressure piping systems. It measures 3/4 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant assembly. The black finish coat is standard for carbon steel pipe nipples used in steam, gas, and industrial fluid applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this part in commercial and industrial settings where heavier wall thickness is required to handle elevated pressure ratings.

This nipple fits into piping systems that require Schedule 160 wall thickness, which is heavier than standard Schedule 40 or 80 pipe. It is suited for steam distribution, compressed air, natural gas, and high-pressure liquid lines in commercial and industrial facilities. The 3/4 inch size is a common trade size for branch lines and service connections. Installers use it wherever a 12-inch threaded close nipple or run nipple is needed between two threaded fittings or valves.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure piping service
• 3/4 inch pipe size with 12 inch body length
• Black finish coat standard for carbon steel pipe applications
• NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Single-piece solid construction with no welds or joints in the body

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for threaded 3/4 inch Schedule 160 piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe nipple. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
