Anvil 0332843200 Black Pipe Nipple 3x6 Inch Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332843200 is a black steel threaded pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems requiring heavy-wall construction. Built to Schedule 160 wall thickness, this nipple provides greater pressure and mechanical strength than standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, it is used to make close-coupled threaded connections between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction suited for gas, steam, and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This nipple is commonly used in commercial and industrial piping applications where elevated pressures or mechanical stress demand heavier wall pipe. Typical installations include high-pressure steam lines, gas distribution systems, and industrial process piping. The 3-inch diameter and 6-inch length make it a practical choice for close or short-run connections in mechanical rooms, boiler systems, and heavy-duty utility installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service
• 3 inch nominal pipe diameter with 6 inch overall length
• Black carbon steel construction for gas, steam, and industrial fluid compatibility
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection
• Single-piece unit with no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 160 threaded black steel piping systems using 3-inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
