Anvil International Inc 8700137600 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700137600 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping assembly. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a standard black steel construction suited for gas, steam, air, and water distribution systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas line installers commonly use this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications where a close or short extension connection is required between threaded pipe components.

This 3/8 inch by 2 inch black nipple is appropriate for use in natural gas supply lines, compressed air systems, steam distribution, and general-purpose water piping. The black finish makes it a common choice for gas piping applications where galvanized fittings are not permitted or preferred. It fits standard NPT threaded systems and is a staple fitting in mechanical rooms, utility connections, and plumbing rough-in work across residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch nominal diameter with 2 inch overall length
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, air, and water service

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water or air system completely before working on any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
