Anvil International Inc 8700148359 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148359 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size by 2-1/2 inches in length. Galvanized nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join pipes, fittings, and valves in piping assemblies. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples in both residential and light commercial systems where a threaded close or short connection is required.

This nipple is appropriate for use in water supply lines, compressed air systems, and natural gas or propane distribution piping where galvanized steel is an approved material. At 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 2-1/2 inches in length, it fits common residential and commercial plumbing rough-in scenarios requiring a short threaded extension between fittings. This package contains 25 nipples, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or completing a multi-outlet rough-in.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 2-1/2 inch overall length for short-run connections between fittings or valves
• Packaged in a quantity of 25 per unit for job-site or van stock efficiency
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in matching pipe size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock galvanized nipple for use with 3/8 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Galvanized nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working under applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure fully before disassembling any threaded joint. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a snug, leak-free fit. Do not over-torque threaded joints in smaller nominal sizes, as this may damage fittings.
