Anvil International Inc 8700143350 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700143350 is a black steel close nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1.5 inches by 2.5 inches, this nipple provides a short, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or pipe ends. Black pipe nipples of this type are standard components in low-pressure gas lines, steam systems, and hydronic heating applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these as part of routine pipe assembly and repair work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a short threaded coupling is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution piping, steam heating systems, and hydronic boiler loops. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction, which is appropriate for gas and steam service but not recommended for potable water lines without appropriate corrosion protection.

Key Features

• 1.5 inch by 2.5 inch nominal dimensions for standard close-coupled connections
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic piping
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Sold in packages of 25 units for job-lot and service-truck stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for use in threaded black iron pipe systems following NPT thread standards common in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Always shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
