Anvil International Inc 8700137006 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700137006 is a black pipe nipple measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components. This nipple is finished in black iron, making it suitable for gas, air, and other non-potable fluid distribution systems. It is a standard close-pattern fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both residential and light commercial installations. The part is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors who need multiple fittings on a single job or for shop stock.

This black pipe nipple is commonly used in low-pressure gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and steam or hot water heating applications where black iron pipe is specified. It is a go-to fitting for residential gas line rough-in work and boiler room piping. The 0.25-inch size is frequently used for pilot gas lines, burner supply connections, and instrument takeoffs in mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers in jurisdictions that require permitted work on gas and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe nipples on gas systems must comply with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements and should be performed by a licensed gas fitter or plumber. Shut off and verify gas pressure is relieved before disassembling any section of the gas line. Apply a listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
