Anvil International Inc 8700141156 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700141156 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 4.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple is finished in black, indicating it is made from black iron or black steel pipe stock without galvanizing, which makes it a standard choice for gas distribution, steam, and general-purpose low-pressure piping applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas technicians depending on the service application.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 1-inch threaded connection is required at a close-to-short run length of 4.5 inches. Common applications include natural gas branch lines, steam heating systems, and water distribution piping where black iron fittings are specified. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking common sizes for service work or new construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of black pipe nipples in gas service must be performed by a licensed gas technician or plumber in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off gas supply and verify zero pressure before disassembling any portion of the gas line. Apply approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to male threads before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, and pressure-test the assembly per code requirements after installation.
