Anvil International Inc 8700142550 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700142550 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components within a system. This nipple features male threads on both ends and is manufactured from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, steam, and general water piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly use nipples of this type when assembling or extending threaded pipe runs in both new construction and service work.

This nipple is commonly installed in residential and light commercial piping systems where black steel pipe is specified. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and industrial fluid conveyance. The 1-1/4-inch diameter is a standard trade size frequently encountered in main gas supply runs and heating system piping. It ships in a package quantity of 15 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or completing a multi-connection installation.

Key Features

• 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size with 7-inch overall length
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and water service
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded fittings

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including the IPC and IFGC where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system completely before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
