Anvil International Inc 8700147203 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700147203 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter by 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water, gas, and general plumbing distribution lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these as standard components during rough-in and service work on threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping connections, and gas distribution systems where 1/8 inch NPT threaded fittings are required. The 5 inch length provides adequate reach between fittings in tight spaces or where a close nipple is not practical. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for contractors stocking for multiple jobs or service calls.

• 1/8 inch nominal diameter with NPT threads on both ends

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembling or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
