Anvil International Inc 8700136156 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700136156 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.125 inches in diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple is finished in black, indicating it is made from black steel pipe stock rather than galvanized material. It is a standard close-coupled connector commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in low-pressure gas, steam, and liquid piping systems where galvanized coatings are not required or permitted.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general fluid conveyance. Its 0.125-inch nominal diameter makes it appropriate for small-bore branch connections, instrument taps, and compressed air or gas service ports. Plumbers and pipefitters typically use this size when tying in gauges, valves, drains, or small service connections to a larger main. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units.

Installation Notes

Installation of black pipe nipples in gas service must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the piping section before beginning any work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe-thread compound to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not use black steel pipe nipples in potable water systems where corrosion resistance is required.
