Anvil 0332819408 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332819408 is a black steel threaded pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems that require heavy-wall construction. Manufactured to Schedule 160 specifications, this nipple offers significantly greater wall thickness than standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. The 1-inch nominal pipe size and 1.5-inch length make it appropriate for close-couple connections where space is limited. The black finish is standard for uncoated carbon steel and is commonly used in gas, steam, and industrial fluid distribution systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 160 wall thickness is required by design specification or code. Typical applications include high-pressure steam lines, industrial process piping, and gas distribution headers. The 1-inch diameter fits standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings and valves. Its short 1.5-inch body makes it well suited for tight installations where a standard-length nipple would not fit, such as close nipple connections between valves, unions, or tees.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service applications
• 1-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threaded ends
• 1.5-inch overall length for close-couple installations
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings in Schedule 160 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads on adjacent components.
