Anvil International Inc 8700148706 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700148706 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends within a piping system. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water, gas, and general industrial service lines. This nipple is a standard component stocked and installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors across a wide range of commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is well-suited for use in domestic water distribution, low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, and general mechanical piping where threaded galvanized fittings are specified. The 3/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded connections and is commonly used in branch lines, equipment connections, and close-coupled fitting assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 25 units, it is appropriate for contractors stocking job boxes or supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as required. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint.
