Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700137253 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1/4 inch in diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a standard uncoated carbon steel construction typical for gas supply, fire suppression, and industrial piping systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians working on low-pressure fluid or gas distribution systems.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial piping applications where a 1/4-inch threaded connection is required. Common install scenarios include gas branch lines, steam and condensate systems, air lines, and general-purpose plumbing connections. The 6-inch length provides a standard close extension between fittings. This SKU is packaged in a quantity of 25 units per package, making it appropriate for contractors stocking a van or job site.

Installation Notes

Installation of black pipe nipples in gas service must comply with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements and should be performed by a licensed gas technician or pipefitter. Always shut off the gas supply and depressurize the line before breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal without stressing the fitting.
