Anvil International Inc 8700147500 Galvanized Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700147500 is a 1/4 inch galvanized close nipple used to create short, rigid pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting with no unthreaded center section, allowing two threaded fittings to be joined with minimal gap between them. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies where space between connections must be kept to an absolute minimum.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where 1/4 inch NPT threaded connections are required. Typical applications include water supply branch lines, compressed air systems, and low-pressure gas piping. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for service contractors and supply houses stocking common fittings for routine jobs.

Key Features

• Close nipple design eliminates unthreaded center section for minimal face-to-face installation length
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units for stocking convenience
• Suitable for water supply, compressed air, and low-pressure gas piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting compatible with 1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems and fittings across residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Because close nipples are fully threaded, use two pipe wrenches when tightening to avoid transmitting torque to adjacent fittings or valves.
