Anvil 0332850924 Black Pipe Nipple 4x12 Inch Sch 160

Product Description

The ANVIL 0332850924 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple rated for high-pressure piping applications where standard wall thickness is insufficient. Measuring 4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple features threaded ends for direct connection into compatible fittings, valves, or flanged assemblies. The black finish coating is standard for carbon steel pipe used in gas, steam, and industrial fluid systems. At 22.5 pounds, this is a heavy-wall fitting intended for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers on commercial and industrial projects.

This pipe nipple is suited for high-pressure steam, gas distribution, industrial process piping, and commercial mechanical systems where Schedule 160 wall thickness is specified by design or code. The 4-inch diameter and 12-inch close-cut length make it a direct working section or transition piece within a larger threaded piping run. It is not intended for light residential use where standard or Schedule 40 wall pipe is the norm.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service beyond standard Schedule 40 or 80 ratings
• 4-inch nominal pipe diameter with threaded ends for direct fitting connection
• 12-inch overall length provides a useful close nipple span in piping runs
• Black finish coating standard for carbon steel gas and steam piping applications
• Heavy-duty construction at 22.5 pounds supports demanding mechanical and industrial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 4-inch Schedule 160 threaded piping systems in commercial and industrial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe section. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections. Do not over-torque threaded joints; use a pipe wrench sized appropriately for 4-inch pipe.
