Anvil 0332830009 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in X 5 in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332830009 is a black steel threaded pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where Schedule 160 wall thickness is required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, this nipple connects threaded pipe runs in gas, steam, water, and industrial fluid applications. The black finish coating is standard for carbon steel pipe fittings and is suitable for non-corrosive service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these nipples as short extensions or close connectors between valves, fittings, and equipment in commercial and industrial piping systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and hydraulic piping systems requiring Schedule 160 wall construction. The heavy-wall Schedule 160 designation indicates significantly greater wall thickness than standard Schedule 40 or 80 pipe, making it appropriate for elevated pressure or mechanical stress applications. It is commonly found in industrial process lines, boiler rooms, and high-pressure utility installations where standard-schedule nipples are not rated for service conditions.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure piping applications
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threaded ends
• 5 inch overall length for short-run extensions and close connections
• Black finish coating standard for carbon steel pipe fittings
• Compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 160 threaded carbon steel piping systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT threads before assembly. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread engagement.
