Anvil 0332820000 Black Pipe Nipple 1 in X 3 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332820000 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in high-pressure piping systems. It measures 1 inch in nominal pipe size and 3 inches in length, with an outside diameter of approximately 1.32 inches. The black finish indicates a plain carbon steel pipe without galvanizing, making it a standard choice for steam, gas, oil, and industrial fluid service where galvanized fittings are not appropriate. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC gas-line installers use this nipple as a short connecting piece between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections.

Schedule 160 wall thickness provides significantly greater pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 pipe, making this nipple well suited for high-pressure steam and industrial process piping. It is commonly installed in commercial and industrial settings where elevated system pressures exceed the rating of lighter-wall pipe. Residential gas-line and HVAC applications may also specify Schedule 160 in close-nipple or confined-run configurations where mechanical strength is a priority.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service
• 1 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threading on both ends
• 3 inch overall length for short-run connections
• Black finish carbon steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and oil service
• Approximate outside diameter of 1.32 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use threaded nipple for 1 inch NPT piping systems requiring Schedule 160 wall thickness.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as Schedule 160 fittings are used in high-pressure systems where joint integrity is critical.
