Anvil International Inc 8700140406 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700140406 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.75 inches in diameter and 12 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 is finished in black, indicating standard carbon steel without galvanizing, making it a common choice for gas distribution, steam, and general plumbing applications. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on ferrous pipe systems in both residential and light commercial settings.

This nipple is suited for use in interior gas piping, steam lines, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The 12-inch length makes it appropriate for close-quarter connections where standard close or short nipples are insufficient. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly use nipples of this type when assembling or repairing threaded black iron pipe runs in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and service connections.

Key Features

• 0.75-inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 12-inch body length for medium-reach connections in threaded pipe systems
• Black carbon steel finish suited for gas, steam, and general-purpose service
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement nipple compatible with 0.75-inch NPT black iron pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial piping systems.

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) as appropriate. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread engagement.
