Anvil International Inc 8700138558 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700138558 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. This nipple ships in a pack of 25 units, making it a practical stock item for plumbing and mechanical contractors who install or service gas lines, steam systems, and black iron piping layouts. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications and is produced through a hot-dip or mill scale process rather than galvanizing.

Black pipe nipples of this size are commonly used in residential and light commercial gas distribution piping, steam heating systems, and compressed air lines. The 0.5-inch diameter suits branch lines and appliance connections. Plumbing and gas contractors typically keep a quantity of standard-length nipples on hand for service calls and new installations. This pack of 25 supports both job-site inventory and shop stock needs.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Black pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers and gas fitters working under applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or thread tape rated for the service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections; follow the fitting manufacturer and code guidelines for proper engagement.
