Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700138855 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. This nipple ships in a package of 25 units, making it practical for contractors and service technicians who work with black iron piping systems regularly. The black finish is typical of uncoated carbon steel pipe used in gas and general plumbing applications.

Black pipe nipples of this size and type are commonly used in residential and light commercial gas distribution systems, including natural gas and propane supply lines. They also see use in fire sprinkler systems, compressed air lines, and steam or hydronic heating piping. Licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and pipefitters are the primary installers of these components in both new construction and retrofit applications.
