Anvil International Inc 8700155156 Galvanized Close Nipple

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700155156 is a 2-inch galvanized close nipple used to create short, threaded pipe connections in water, gas, and general-purpose piping systems. A close nipple has threads running the full length of the fitting with no unthreaded center section, allowing two fittings or valves to be joined with minimal gap between them. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet or outdoor service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this nipple where space is tight and a standard hex nipple will not fit.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, gas distribution, and industrial utility lines where a 2-inch NPT threaded connection is required. Its fully threaded body makes it a standard choice when two female-threaded fittings need to be coupled directly together with no exposed pipe between them. It is sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for job-site stock or bulk installation work.

Key Features

• Full-length threads on both ends allow direct coupling of two female fittings with no exposed center section
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor piping environments
• 2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 for job-site or shop stocking
• Compact close-nipple design ideal for space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas, HVAC hydronic, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC codes for the service type. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup and tighten to the fitting using a pipe wrench. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or nipple. Do not over-tighten, as over-torquing can crack fittings or distort threads.
