Anvil International Inc 8700146957 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700146957 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping systems. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics during new construction, system retrofits, and service work where a threaded close or extension connection is required between two female-threaded ports.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications. Typical uses include connecting branch lines, extending threaded runs, or making up assemblies at valves, pressure gauges, drains, and similar fittings. The 1/8 inch nominal size is common in low-volume service lines, instrument taps, and pilot supply connections in gas and hydronic systems. Sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking service vehicles or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC requirements.
