Anvil 0332833607 Black Pipe Nipple 2in X 3in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332833607 is a Schedule 160 black steel pipe nipple rated for high-pressure piping applications. It measures 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length with threaded ends on both sides, ready for direct installation into threaded fittings or pipe assemblies. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and industrial piping systems. Schedule 160 wall thickness provides significantly greater pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 or 80 nipples, making it the correct choice where elevated system pressures or demanding service conditions require heavier pipe wall. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 160 wall thickness is specified by design or code. Common applications include high-pressure steam lines, natural gas distribution headers, compressed air systems, and industrial process piping. The 2-inch diameter fits standard 2-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and flanges. It is packaged individually and ordered in single-piece increments, making it appropriate for repair work, system modifications, or new construction requiring specific close nipple or short nipple configurations.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service beyond Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 ratings
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 3-inch overall length suitable for close-clearance installations
• Black steel construction compatible with gas, steam, and industrial fluid service
• Threaded ends allow tool-only installation without welding or special equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 160 pipe nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut down and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure class before threading the nipple into fittings. Use pipe wrenches sized for 2-inch pipe and avoid over-torquing, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
