Anvil International Inc 8700140208 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700140208 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other components in a piping system. This nipple features a black finish, which is standard for carbon steel pipe used in gas distribution, fire suppression, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use nipples like this one to extend or complete pipe runs in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a 3/4-inch schedule 40 black steel connection is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, and low-pressure air lines. It is also widely used in fire sprinkler rough-in work and hydronic heating piping. Sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking commonly used fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Always shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
