Anvil International Inc 8700149100 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149100 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal pipe diameter by 1-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suited for water distribution, compressed air, and general plumbing supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and maintenance work on threaded piping systems.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, compressed air distribution, and general industrial piping applications where a short threaded connection is required. The 1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch size is a common dimension found in water supply branch lines, boiler piping, and equipment connections. It is sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a job site or service van.

Key Features

• Galvanized zinc coating for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 1-1/2 inch overall length
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to fittings and valves
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 pieces per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized pipe nipple for use with 1/2 inch threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and other pipe components in threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male threads. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Thread engagement should be sufficient to form a leak-free seal without over-tightening, which can crack fittings. Local plumbing codes such as the IPC may govern material selection and approved applications for galvanized pipe.
