Anvil International Inc 8700142204 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700142204 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches by 3 inches. A pipe nipple is a short length of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded ports in a piping run. This nipple is finished in black, indicating it is made from black iron or black steel rather than galvanized material. It is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on gas distribution, steam, or hydronic systems where black pipe is the specified material.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems carrying natural gas, propane, steam, air, or water. The 1-1/4-inch nominal size and 3-inch length make it a standard choice for branch connections, riser extensions, and close-coupled fitting assemblies. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a service vehicle or completing a multi-connection job.

Installation Notes

Black pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IFGC for gas systems or the IPC for plumbing systems. Always shut off and depressurize the system before making or breaking threaded connections. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
