Anvil International Inc 8700148409 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148409 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter by 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe segments used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install nipples like this as part of rough-in and service work on both new construction and retrofit projects.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection rough-in, and industrial piping where a 3/8 inch threaded connection is required. The 3-inch length makes it well suited for close-quarter connections where a longer nipple or union would not fit. Sold in a package of 25 units, it is a practical stocking item for supply houses and contractor vans alike.

Key Features

• Galvanized coating for corrosion and rust resistance in wet or outdoor service environments
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 3 inch overall length for short-run connections and tight-space installations
• Packaged in quantities of 25 for efficient jobsite restocking
• Compatible with standard threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 3/8 inch pipe systems including plumbing, hydronic heating, gas, and general mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard practice. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not over-torque galvanized fittings, as excessive force can crack the zinc coating and compromise corrosion protection.
