Anvil International Inc 8700138756 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700138756 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 0.5 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping system. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a plain steel surface without galvanizing, which is standard for gas distribution, fire suppression, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial systems.

This fitting is suited for use in gas supply lines, steam systems, air distribution, and general plumbing applications where a black steel threaded nipple is specified. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking job-site supplies or service vans. The 0.5-inch diameter is one of the most common sizes in residential and light commercial gas and plumbing rough-in work.
