Anvil International Inc 8700148458 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148458 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections of pipe used to join fittings, valves, and other threaded components within a piping system. This nipple features a hot-dip or mill galvanized zinc coating that provides corrosion resistance, making it well suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial piping systems where threaded steel fittings are required. It is appropriate for use in both water supply and low-pressure gas lines where galvanized steel is permitted by local code. The 3/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded connections common in domestic plumbing rough-in work, boiler piping, and mechanical room installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
