Anvil International Inc 8700141107 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700141107 is a black steel pipe nipple with a 1-inch nominal diameter and a 4-inch length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other components in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating systems where galvanized coatings are not required or permitted. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of low-pressure gas piping, fuel oil lines, and hot water heating systems.

This 1-inch by 4-inch black nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial piping applications. Typical installations include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution runs, boiler piping, and steam heating systems. The 4-inch length provides enough extension to bridge short gaps between fittings or to transition between valves and pipe sections in tight mechanical spaces. It is sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for contractors working on multi-connection jobs or maintaining shop stock.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic heating service
• 1-inch nominal diameter with 4-inch overall length
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to fittings and valves
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 for contractor convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use with 1-inch pipe fittings, valves, couplings, and threaded connections in gas, steam, and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC standards for water and steam systems. Shut off the gas supply or drain and depressurize the piping system fully before making any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
