Anvil International Inc 8700153953 Galvanized Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700153953 is a 1.5-inch close galvanized nipple used to create short, tight pipe connections in threaded plumbing and piping systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting, leaving no exposed center pipe between the two threaded ends. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, general plumbing, and light industrial piping applications. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems where a minimal-length connection between two fittings or valves is required.

This close nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical rooms, water distribution, and general-purpose threaded pipe assemblies. It is commonly used to join two female-threaded fittings directly together or to connect a valve tightly to a fitting without exposed pipe between them. The 1.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded applications in that size range. This fitting ships in a package quantity of 25 units per the supplier unit of measure.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 1.5-inch NPT threaded galvanized iron pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water or piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply listed thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly. Because close nipples have no exposed center for a pipe wrench to grip, use strap wrenches or internal nipple extractors designed for close nipples to avoid damaging the threads or galvanized coating.
