Anvil International Inc 8700142055 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700142055 is a close-pattern black pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches. A close nipple is threaded along its entire length with no unthreaded center, making it the shortest possible connection between two fittings. This nipple is used to join threaded fittings or valves in close proximity, reducing overall assembly length. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in gas, water, and steam distribution systems where a standard-length nipple would add unwanted projection. The black finish indicates an uncoated, non-galvanized steel construction standard for gas piping applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations, particularly in natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as steam and hydronic heating systems. The 1-1/4-inch size is common in branch lines and main distribution runs. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking service vehicles or completing multi-connection jobs in a single visit.

Key Features

• Close-pattern threading covers the full length of the nipple for minimum-length connections
• 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves
• Black finish steel construction standard for gas piping per applicable codes
• Sold in a quantity of 25 per package for job-site efficiency
• Compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in gas, steam, and water service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Because close nipples have no unthreaded grip area, use strap wrenches or padded jaw tools to avoid damaging the threads during installation.
