Anvil International Inc 8700138905 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700138905 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or components in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured in black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, steam, and air piping systems where galvanized or brass fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these fittings as standard components in both new construction and retrofit piping work.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, and compressed air piping. The 1/2 inch by 7 inch size fills gaps between fittings or equipment connections where a standard close or hex nipple is too short and a longer cut pipe section is unnecessary. It is packaged in quantities of 25 units per package, making it practical for contractors stocking jobsite materials.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and air service
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 7 inch overall length
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded assembly
• Sold in 25-unit packages for contractor and jobsite supply
• Compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems using black steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off gas supply or depressurize the system before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
