Anvil International Inc 8700136750 Black Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700136750 is a 1/4-inch close black nipple designed for use in low-pressure piping assemblies where a minimal thread-to-thread connection is required. A close nipple has no unthreaded center, making the two threaded ends meet directly for the most compact possible pipe joint. This type of fitting is standard in gas, air, and water distribution lines where space between fittings is limited. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas service technicians depending on the application and local codes.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems, including gas distribution headers, air lines, water supply runs, and general-purpose black iron assemblies. The 1/4-inch nominal pipe size and close-thread configuration make it a common component in tight-clearance manifold and valve installations where back-to-back fittings are needed. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking or multi-point installations.

Key Features

• Close-pattern threading — no unthreaded center, minimizes joint length
• 1/4-inch nominal pipe size for standard NPT connections
• Black iron finish suitable for gas, air, and non-potable water service
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units
• 0.5 pounds package weight for efficient handling and shipping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stock fitting compatible with 1/4-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial black iron piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Close nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas technicians following applicable local codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off and de-pressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading. Use a pipe wrench sized for 1/4-inch fittings and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
