Anvil International Inc 8700149050 Galvanized Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149050 is a 1/2-inch close galvanized steel nipple used to create tight, back-to-back pipe connections in threaded piping systems. A close nipple has no exposed center unthreaded section, allowing two fittings to be joined with minimal separation. This type of fitting is standard in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing assemblies where space between threaded fittings must be kept to an absolute minimum. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as part of both new construction and retrofit work on threaded pipe systems.

This close nipple is sized at 1/2 inch and is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, and industrial pipe assemblies that use NPT-threaded components. Its hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or outdoor environments. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking consumable fittings for ongoing jobsite work.

Key Features

• Close configuration eliminates exposed unthreaded center, minimizing connection gap between fittings
• 1/2-inch nominal pipe size with NPT-standard threading
• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor applications
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units for jobsite convenience
• Compatible with standard threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with 1/2-inch NPT-threaded pipe, valves, and fittings in standard plumbing and piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to NPT threads before assembly. Because close nipples leave no wrench flat in the center, use internal pipe wrenches or strap wrenches to avoid damaging the galvanized coating during tightening.
