Anvil 0332819606 Black Pipe Nipple 1 in X 2 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332819606 is a black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 160 wall thickness, designed for high-pressure piping systems where standard or extra-heavy wall pipe is insufficient. At 1 inch nominal diameter and 2 inches in length, this close-to-short nipple ships with threaded ends ready for installation into standard NPT fittings. The heavy Schedule 160 wall construction makes it well-suited for steam, gas, hydraulic, and industrial fluid applications where elevated pressure ratings and robust mechanical strength are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial piping systems requiring Schedule 160 wall specifications, including high-pressure steam lines, compressed air headers, gas distribution piping, and hydraulic service lines. The black finish indicates uncoated carbon steel, which is standard practice for gas and steam applications where galvanized coatings are not permitted. Its compact 2-inch length fits tight-space configurations and close-coupled fitting assemblies where longer nipples cannot be used.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service beyond standard and XH ratings
• 1 inch nominal diameter with NPT threaded ends for direct connection to standard fittings
• Black carbon steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and hydraulic service
• 2-inch overall length fits tight-clearance and close-coupled piping configurations
• Uncoated black finish — appropriate for natural gas and steam lines per common piping codes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 160 carbon steel threaded piping systems using 1 inch nominal NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable code requirements such as the International Plumbing Code or ASME B31.1 and B31.3 for pressure piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium — confirm sealant compatibility with gas, steam, or hydraulic fluid as applicable. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
