Anvil International Inc 8700152757 Galvanized Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700152757 is a 1-1/4-inch close galvanized nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting with no unthreaded center section, allowing two female-threaded fittings to be joined with minimal space between them. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet and exposed environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial piping systems.

This close nipple is used wherever a tight, back-to-back threaded connection is required between couplings, valves, unions, or other female-threaded pipe fittings. Common applications include water distribution lines, low-pressure gas piping, compressed air systems, and industrial process lines. The 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size fits standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems. This package contains 25 nipples sold as a unit of measure lot.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas applications. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning any threaded fitting work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Use proper pipe wrenches sized for the fitting to avoid damaging the galvanized coating or deforming the nipple during tightening.
