Anvil International Inc 8700149506 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149506 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 5-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings or valves in a piping run. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these as standard components during new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, and general-purpose gas or water distribution applications. The 1/2 inch nominal size is one of the most common thread sizes encountered in trade work, making this nipple a frequent stock item for service vans and supply rooms. It is sold in packages of 25 units, supporting both project-scale installation and break-pack service needs.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 1/2 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 5-1/2 inch overall length for close-to-medium offset connections
• Packaged 25 units per pack for efficient job-site stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation pipe nipple for use with 1/2 inch female-threaded fittings, couplings, and valves in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements depending on the service. 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 galvanized steel threads can gall or crack fittings if excessive force is applied.
