Anvil International Inc 8700149704 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700149704 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 0.5 inches in diameter by 9 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a pipe run. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded piping systems in both residential and commercial settings.

This nipple is used in threaded pipe assemblies where a 0.5-inch nominal pipe size connection is required. Common applications include water supply lines, sprinkler systems, compressed air distribution, and low-pressure gas piping. The 9-inch length makes it a close nipple alternative for runs requiring a fixed standoff or extension between fittings. It is sold in a package of 25 units, making it practical for contractors stocking hardware for multiple jobs.

• 0.5-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 9-inch overall length for fixed-length pipe extensions

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to NPT threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-torquing. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting.
