Anvil International Inc 8700148201 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148201 is a close-pattern galvanized pipe nipple in 3/8 inch nominal pipe size. A close nipple is threaded along its entire length, with no unthreaded center section, making it the shortest possible connection between two fittings or between a fitting and a valve. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a minimal-length threaded connection is required in a piping assembly.

This close nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where space between fittings is limited. Its 3/8 inch nominal size suits branch lines, fixture supplies, and low-pressure gas drops. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for above-ground water distribution and similar wet-service environments. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for service contractors and supply house restocking.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for water and general plumbing service
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized close nipple for use with 3/8 inch pipe fittings in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including the IPC and IFGC where adopted. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. A close nipple has no unthreaded grip surface, so use strap wrenches or proper nipple extractors to avoid deforming the fitting during installation or removal.
