Anvil International Inc 8700149209 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149209 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and other piping components in a run. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, drainage, and general-purpose piping systems. This nipple is a standard close-coupled connector installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for threaded piping assemblies in water supply lines, compressed air systems, hydronic heating systems, and general mechanical piping. The 1/2 inch size is among the most common in residential and small commercial work. It is typically used where a short, rigid connection is needed between two threaded female fittings or valves. Installation follows standard NPT threaded pipe practices and applies to both new construction and retrofit work.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
