Anvil International Inc 8700148250 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148250 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 1-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components. This nipple features a hot-dip or mill galvanized zinc coating that provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or industrial environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install nipples like this one daily across water distribution, gas supply, steam, and general-purpose piping systems. The compact 1-1/2 inch length makes it a close nipple suitable for tight-clearance connections.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping installations where threaded steel pipe assemblies are required. The 3/8 inch size is common in branch lines, instrument connections, and low-flow service runs. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or completing a multi-connection rough-in job.

Key Features

• Galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 3/8 inch NPT threaded ends for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 1-1/2 inch length suits tight-clearance and close-nipple applications
• Sold in a 25-unit package for multi-connection installations
• Steel construction handles typical working pressures in water and gas piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
