Anvil International Inc 8700136859 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700136859 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.25 inches in diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping system. This close-cut nipple is made for use in gas, steam, air, and water distribution systems where a rigid, all-metal connection is required. Installation is typically handled by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians working on low-pressure distribution systems. The black finish, formed through a mill-scale process, distinguishes this nipple from galvanized versions and is common in gas line assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas and propane supply lines, steam heating systems, compressed air lines, and general water service piping. Its compact 2-inch length makes it useful in tight manifold configurations or where minimal pipe extension is needed between two threaded fittings. Packaged in quantities of 25 units per package, it is a practical stocking item for shops and service vans handling recurring piping work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off and bleed down the supply line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints.
