A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting, leaving no exposed center pipe between the two threaded ends. This design minimizes the installed length of a connection point, which is useful when space is limited inside a fitting or valve body. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple in gas, water, and steam distribution systems where a nearly thread-to-thread coupling is required. This part ships in a package quantity of 25 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack pipe nipples of this type are standard components in low-pressure gas distribution, steam systems, and water piping in both residential and light commercial applications. The 2-inch size fits common main-line and branch-line connections on gas mains, boiler headers, and industrial process piping. Installers typically pair close nipples with black iron fittings such as couplings, tees, elbows, and valves where a tight, compact assembly is required. The 25-count package suits service contractors and mechanical shops that install or maintain multiple connections on a single job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose-pattern threading covers the full fitting length for minimal installed length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard threaded pipe fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suited for gas and steam service where galvanized coatings are not appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 25-count package for multi-connection installations and shop stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage weight of 11.5 pounds accounts for handling and freight planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for use with 2-inch threaded black iron pipe and fittings in gas, steam, and water piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of black iron pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas service, or ASME B31 piping standards where applicable. Always shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Close nipples require a pipe wrench on each fitting at the joint due to the absence of exposed center pipe for gripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNipple Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700144457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANVIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524459692338,"sku":"8700144457","price":145.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3c18f1990308de2316d99360faa3e34c_43a3829e-4561-4ac5-ba18-1ee5b5151b4b.jpg?v=1785449555","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anvil-international-inc-8700144457-black-close-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
