Anvil 0332828607 Black Pipe Nipple 1.5x1.75 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332828607 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length, this close-pattern nipple is manufactured to Schedule 160 wall thickness, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications where standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings are insufficient. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction, appropriate for gas distribution lines, steam systems, and non-potable water piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a short threaded connector between valves, fittings, and equipment flanges.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping installations where a short threaded male-to-male connection is needed. Common applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, steam heating distribution, compressed air systems, and general industrial fluid transfer. The Schedule 160 wall thickness provides extra material strength compared to lighter schedules, making it a preferred choice when working with elevated pressures or in locations subject to mechanical stress. It installs using standard NPT threaded fittings and is compatible with other black iron or steel components of the same nominal pipe size.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to standard schedules
• 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size with NPT-compatible threading
• 1-3/4 inches overall length suitable for close-coupled connections
• Black finish carbon steel construction for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid systems
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 160 threaded black iron piping systems using 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium prior to assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or crack adjacent fittings.
