Anvil International Inc 8700143608 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700143608 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter by 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends and is manufactured from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, compressed air, and general-purpose black iron pipe systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas line installers rely on this fitting for standard threaded assembly work in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is used in threaded black iron pipe systems commonly found in natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications. The 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size and 5-inch length make it a standard close-to-short nipple choice for filling gaps between fittings in tight runs or panel connections. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for contractors stocking job-site supply.

• 5 inch overall length for short-run pipe extensions and fitting connections

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC depending on service type. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembly or installation. Do not use black steel nipples on potable water lines where corrosion or code compliance may be a concern.
