Anvil International Inc 8700137659 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700137659 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. This nipple is finished in black iron, making it a standard choice for gas distribution, steam, and general plumbing piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install pipe nipples during new construction, system modifications, and repairs where a short threaded run is required between two threaded connections.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving black iron piping systems, including natural gas and propane supply lines, steam heating systems, and industrial fluid transfer. It is typically used in conjunction with black malleable or cast iron fittings such as couplings, elbows, and tees. The 3/8 inch size is common in branch gas lines, pilot supply connections, and low-pressure steam distribution.

Key Features

• Black iron finish suitable for gas, steam, and general piping service
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 2-1/2 inch overall length for close-quarter piping connections
• Packaged in a quantity of 25 units per package, reducing handling time on multi-connection jobs
• Consistent thread form supports leak-free joints when used with appropriate thread sealant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation component for standard 3/8 inch NPT black iron piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and general plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the piping section before threading or replacing any nipple in a pressurized system. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections prior to assembly. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
