Anvil International Inc 8700139606 Black Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700139606 is a 3/4-inch black close nipple used to make short pipe connections in threaded piping systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting, allowing two female-threaded fittings to be joined with minimal gap between them. This fitting is finished in black, indicating standard black steel pipe material suited for gas distribution, compressed air, and similar low-pressure piping applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with Schedule 40 black iron pipe assemblies.

This close nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial piping installations where tight, compact connections are required. Typical applications include gas line manifolds, compressed air distribution headers, and general-purpose black iron pipe systems. The 3/4-inch thread size fits standard NPT (National Pipe Taper) threaded fittings and valves. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking common fittings for ongoing service work.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 relevant. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
