Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it a practical choice for jobs requiring multiple connections. It is a standard component in gas, steam, and water distribution systems and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on commercial and residential piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack steel pipe nipples are commonly used in natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as low-pressure steam and hydronic heating systems. The black finish, which is the absence of galvanizing, makes this nipple appropriate for gas service where galvanized fittings are typically avoided. This 1\/2 inch by 4 inch size fits standard trade piping layouts and is well suited for tight-space connections requiring a short, fixed-length threaded section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch nominal pipe size with 4 inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suitable for gas and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for connection to standard pipe fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 25 units for multi-connection jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard nipple form factor for use in residential and commercial piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1\/2 inch black steel piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and hydronic heating applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure in the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded joints. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700138657\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANVIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525239963954,"sku":"8700138657","price":62.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3c18f1990308de2316d99360faa3e34c_d4bacaa7-3e3d-48fb-aa11-b8be40665dc9.jpg?v=1785468161","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anvil-international-inc-8700138657-black-pipe-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
