Anvil 0332850882 Black Pipe Nipple 4in X 10in Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332850882 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems where standard-wall pipe would be undersized for the application. Measuring 4 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, this nipple features threaded ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or equipment flanges. The black finish coating provides a standard mill-applied surface treatment appropriate for gas, steam, and hydronic piping applications. At 20.6 pounds, the heavy wall construction reflects the increased material thickness characteristic of Schedule 160 pipe. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers for this size and schedule.

Schedule 160 nipples in the 4-inch diameter range are typically used in industrial, commercial, and heavy mechanical applications where elevated working pressures demand thicker pipe walls. Common installation scenarios include high-pressure steam distribution, industrial gas piping, process piping, and mechanical room headers. This nipple is sold individually and is suited for new construction as well as retrofit or repair work on existing high-pressure systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for elevated-pressure service
• 4-inch nominal pipe diameter with 10-inch face-to-face length
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Black finish coating suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic service
• Heavy construction at 20.6 pounds for robust, long-service installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 160 black iron pipe systems using 4-inch NPT threaded connections in commercial and industrial mechanical piping.

Installation Notes

Installation of 4-inch Schedule 160 black pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical codes, including IFGC or ASME B31 standards where relevant. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line or removing existing nipples. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before making up connections. Do not use pipe wrenches on the pipe body itself when torquing connections on a system that has already been pressure-tested.
