Anvil International Inc 8700146809 Galvanized Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700146809 is a 1/8 inch close galvanized nipple used to make threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting with no exposed plain pipe between them, allowing two fittings or valves to be joined with minimal gap. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and low-pressure gas service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in and retrofit work across residential and light commercial applications.

This close nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, compressed air piping, and gas piping systems where a 1/8 inch NPT threaded connection is required. The tight end-to-end thread configuration makes it the correct choice when space between fittings is at a minimum. It is commonly found at boiler trim connections, pressure gauge ports, gas valve inlets, and similar small-diameter service points in residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Close-pattern threading runs the full fitting length for compact back-to-back connections
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and moderate-service environments
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size fits standard small-diameter fittings, valves, and gauges
• Sold in a package of 25 units for stocking and job-lot purchasing
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds per package, easy to transport and store

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stock fitting for 1/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten, as close nipples are susceptible to cracking at the thread roots if excessive torque is applied.
