Anvil International Inc 8700139150 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700139150 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends, making it a standard close-coupled connector for low-pressure gas, steam, or water distribution lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas fitters install these as part of rough-in and service work on commercial and residential piping systems.

This black steel nipple is suited for use in natural gas distribution piping, low-pressure steam systems, and general industrial or mechanical piping applications where black iron pipe is the specified material. The 12-inch length makes it appropriate for short branch runs, riser connections, and equipment drops where a close or hex nipple would be too short. It is sold in a package of 25 units, making it practical for stocking on service vehicles or in supply rooms for ongoing work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 0.5-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of black pipe nipples in gas service must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and verify zero pressure at the gas supply before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe dope rated for gas service to all male threads before assembly. Do not use PTFE tape on gas piping unless it is rated and approved for that application.
