Anvil International Inc 8700137055 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700137055 is a black steel close-pattern pipe nipple measuring 0.25 inches in diameter by 4 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short lengths of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in gas, water, and industrial fluid systems. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, which is standard for low-pressure gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these fittings during new construction, retrofit, and repair work on threaded pipe systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 0.25-inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include natural gas branch lines, steam condensate return piping, and hydronic heating distribution. The 4-inch length provides enough thread-in depth and exposed length to bridge typical fitting-to-fitting gaps without requiring a longer close nipple or a coupling and separate pipe section. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for service trucks and shop stock.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas and steam service
• 0.25-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 4-inch overall length for moderate extension between fittings
• Package quantity of 25 for efficient stocking and job lot purchasing
• Externally threaded both ends for use with standard NPT couplings, valves, and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for threaded 0.25-inch NPT piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and hydronic installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC requirements for water and steam systems. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system and relieve pressure before threading any new fitting into the line. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or distort valve bodies.
