Anvil 8700153003 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 X 4 Inch

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700153003 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches diameter by 4 inches length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple well suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as a standard component in both new construction and repair work.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems where a short threaded connection is required. The 1-1/4-inch diameter is common in branch lines and secondary distribution runs. The 4-inch length provides enough engagement for most standard fitting and valve connections without requiring a longer close or full-length nipple. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking inventory for ongoing projects.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor piping environments
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter by 4 inch length for short threaded connections
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and couplings
• Sold in 25-unit packages for jobsite and shop inventory convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded galvanized pipe nipple for use with 1-1/4-inch NPT-compatible fittings, valves, and couplings in residential and commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
