Anvil International Inc 8700148607 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148607 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple well suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these in both above-ground and exposed piping runs where corrosion protection is a priority.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, and similar threaded pipe applications. The 3/8 inch nominal size is commonly found in branch lines, fixture supply connections, and low-flow distribution runs. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for job-lot purchasing on larger projects or service fleets.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• 3/8 inch nominal diameter with 5-inch lay length
• Externally threaded on both ends for standard threaded fitting connections
• Sold in package quantities of 25 for efficient job-site stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 3/8 inch threaded pipe systems using galvanized steel fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before make-up to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
