Anvil International Inc 8700149159 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149159 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components within a system. This nipple features a hot-dip or mill-applied galvanized zinc coating that provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.

This galvanized nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and low-pressure steam or water distribution systems where a short close or running nipple is needed between two threaded components. The 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking on a service van or at a job site where multiple connections are required.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal diameter x 2 inch length galvanized pipe nipple
• Galvanized zinc coating for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings and valves
• Sold in package quantities of 25 for efficient job-site stocking
• Suitable for water supply, gas, and general mechanical piping assemblies

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded components. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
