Anvil International Inc 8700148003 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148003 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch nominal diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping systems. 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 working on residential and light commercial systems where a threaded close or extension connection is required between two female-threaded components.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, gas piping, and industrial pipe assemblies where a 1/4 inch threaded extension is needed. The 6 inch length makes it a practical choice for bridging moderate gaps between fittings or equipment connections. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it convenient for contractors stocking common pipe fittings for service and installation work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
