Anvil International Inc 8700136255 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700136255 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components within a piping system. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends and is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas distribution, compressed air, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians commonly install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial piping systems.

This nipple is well-suited for low-pressure gas lines, steam systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications where black steel pipe and fittings are required. Its compact 3-inch length makes it useful in tight spaces where a close or shoulder nipple would be too short and a longer nipple would be impractical. It is sold in a package quantity of 25, making it a practical choice for contractors stocking common fitting sizes on the job.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas and general piping service
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 3-inch overall length for applications requiring a short extension between fittings
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units per package
• Standard male NPT threading for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use in residential and commercial gas, steam, and general plumbing piping systems where black iron or steel fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code, and NFPA 54 for gas piping applications. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
