Anvil 0332824606 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332824606 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems where extra wall thickness is required. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, this nipple features NPT threads on both ends for direct connection between pipe fittings, valves, and equipment. The black finish indicates a carbon steel construction without galvanizing, making it suitable for gas distribution, steam, and industrial fluid lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple where standard Schedule 40 or 80 wall thickness does not meet system pressure or mechanical strength requirements.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping applications that demand heavier wall construction. Schedule 160 wall thickness is specified on high-pressure steam lines, gas mains, hydraulic service lines, and industrial process piping where the system design requires additional pressure capacity beyond Schedule 80. It is also used in tight-clearance installations where a short close or near-close nipple is impractical and a 3-inch length provides the needed offset between fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40 or 80
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe diameter with 3-inch body length
• Black finish carbon steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• NPT-threaded both ends for standard fitting and valve connections
• Compact 3-inch length suits tight-clearance or short-offset installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 160 black iron piping systems using 1-1/4 inch nominal NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and avoid over-torquing, which can crack fittings or distort threads. Verify the nipple schedule and material are compatible with the service fluid, operating pressure, and temperature before installation.
