Anvil International Inc 8700149605 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149605 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to join fittings, valves, and other components in piping systems. The galvanized zinc coating resists corrosion, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded connection is required between two female-threaded fittings or components. Typical applications include water distribution lines, low-pressure gas piping, fire suppression systems, and general mechanical piping. The 7-inch length makes it well suited for close-quarter runs where a longer pipe section is not practical.

Key Features

• Galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for water and gas service
• 0.5-inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 7-inch overall length suits tight-clearance piping runs
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units, supporting bulk installation needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 0.5-inch NPT plumbing and mechanical piping systems. Compatible with any standard 0.5-inch female NPT fitting, valve, or coupling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
