Anvil International Inc 8700153201 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700153201 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1.25 inches nominal diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join pipe sections, fittings, or valves in a run. This nipple's hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as standard components in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This galvanized nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping systems where a short close-to-close or close-to-run threaded connection is needed. The 1.25-inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves of the same diameter. It is a common component in water distribution headers, boiler trim lines, and compressed air branch connections.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• 1.25-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 6-inch overall length for short run and offset connections
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 pieces per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized pipe nipple compatible with 1.25-inch threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before makeup. Tighten to proper engagement using pipe wrenches — avoid over-torquing, which can crack fittings.
