Anvil International Inc 8700136909 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700136909 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 0.25 inches nominal diameter by 2.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution lines, steam systems, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely use nipples of this type when assembling or extending threaded pipe runs. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction, which is the standard material for natural gas and propane supply piping.

This 0.25 inches x 2.5 inches nipple fits into residential and light commercial piping systems where short threaded connections are required. Common applications include gas appliance connections, boiler supply and return piping, steam distribution headers, and compressed air lines. It is also used in fire protection piping and industrial process lines where black steel is the code-accepted material. This nipple ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or completing a multi-connection installation in a single visit.
