Anvil International Inc 8700148300 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148300 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded fittings used to connect two female-threaded pipe ends, couplings, valves, or other fittings in a piping assembly. The galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in both wet and dry environments. This nipple is a standard component used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in a wide range of piping systems where a short threaded connector is required.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and HVAC piping applications where corrosion resistance and reliable threaded connections are priorities. It is commonly installed in supply lines, distribution headers, and branch connections. The compact 2-inch length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where minimal projection from a fitting or valve port is needed.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish provides zinc-based corrosion protection for wet and corrosive environments
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT male threads on both ends
• 2-inch overall length suits close-quarter and tight-clearance installations
• Compatible with standard pipe couplings, valves, tees, and elbows

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas applications. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve proper engagement without over-torquing. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or replacing any fitting in an active line.
