Anvil International Inc 8700136354 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700136354 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 4 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe segments used to connect two female-threaded fittings or to extend a run within a piping system. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a non-galvanized steel construction suited for gas distribution, compressed air, and similar low-pressure piping applications. It is a standard close-tolerance fitting installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is commonly used in gas supply lines, heating system piping, and general-purpose pipe assemblies where a short threaded connection is required. The 1/8 inch nominal size makes it appropriate for small-diameter branch lines, pilot gas supply connections, pressure gauge ports, and instrumentation taps. It is sold in individual units and also available in a package quantity of 25, making it practical for stocking in supply houses or service trucks.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the system before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
