Anvil International Inc 8700138459 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700138459 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends in a piping assembly. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends and is manufactured from black steel, making it suitable for gas distribution, steam, and general-purpose industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install pipe nipples as part of routine piping rough-in, equipment connections, and system modifications.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas lines, propane supply piping, steam systems, and water distribution where black steel pipe is specified. The 1/2 inch size is among the most commonly used in residential gas appliance connections and branch piping. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it well suited for contractors stocking trade supplies or completing multi-outlet rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians following applicable code requirements including the IFGC and IPC. Shut off and verify the absence of gas or system pressure before breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe thread compound rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or compromise the seal.
