Anvil International Inc 8700147856 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700147856 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/4 inch in diameter by 4-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters as part of threaded piping assemblies in both residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for use in threaded pipe systems where a short close or extension connection is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air systems, and low-pressure gas piping. The 1/4-inch diameter makes it appropriate for branch lines, instrumentation connections, and small-bore service runs. Each unit of measure is sold individually, with packages available in quantities of 25.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup. Do not over-torque small-diameter nipples, as this can crack fittings or distort the thread engagement.
