Anvil International Inc 8700143400 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700143400 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches by 3 inches. Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, or equipment in piping assemblies. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends and is manufactured in a black finish, which is standard for uncoated steel pipe used in gas, air, and general-purpose liquid distribution systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping work as well as residential gas line applications.

This nipple is suited for use in low-pressure gas distribution, compressed air lines, water supply systems, and other general plumbing and mechanical piping applications where black steel pipe and fittings are specified. The 1.5-inch nominal diameter and 3-inch length make it a common close-nipple configuration for tight-clearance connections in pipe runs. It is packaged in quantities of 25 units per package, making it practical for contractors stocking materials for multiple service calls or new-construction rough-in work.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) for gas applications. Shut off gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure before removing or installing pipe fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
