Anvil International Inc 8700149308 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149308 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded fittings used to connect two female-threaded pipe components, valves, or fittings within a piping system. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. This nipple ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking on service vehicles or in supply rooms handling multi-fixture installations.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems. It is well suited for distribution manifolds, branch connections, and threaded assembly work where a short close-to-medium length run is required between fittings. The 1/2-inch nominal size is among the most common in residential water and gas supply lines, making this nipple a standard stocking item for plumbing contractors and mechanical trades.

• 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 3-1/2 inch overall length

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection without overtightening. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or replacing any threaded fitting in an active system.
