Anvil International Inc 8700142402 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700142402 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple is finished in black, indicating a standard black iron construction common to gas, air, and industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both new construction and repair work. The 1-1/4-inch diameter makes it suitable for moderate-flow applications across a range of system types.

This black pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where threaded black iron connections are required. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and steam or hydronic heating systems. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking fittings for multiple jobs or service trucks. The 5-inch length is a standard close-to-extension size useful in tight-clearance installations where a longer nipple would be impractical.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or fittings.
