Anvil International Inc 8700143251 Black Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700143251 is a 1-1/2 inch black close nipple used in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting, allowing two threaded fittings to be joined with minimal gap between them. This configuration is common where space is limited and a standard hex nipple would add unwanted length to the assembly. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as part of black iron pipe systems, particularly in gas supply lines and steam piping.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where black iron threaded pipe is specified. Typical install scenarios include natural gas branch lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and compressed air runs. The 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings of the same size. This product is sold in a package quantity of 25, making it practical for service trucks, maintenance shops, and wholesale supply use.

Installation Notes

Black iron nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with threaded pipe systems. Always shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. All gas piping installations must comply with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).
