Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Introducing the Anvil 1-1/2 in. MPT Black Steel 3 in. L Nipple — a compact, dependable connection designed for standard 1-1/2" piping runs. Built from rugged steel and finished in a durable black coating, this nipple provides a tight, reliable link between fittings with genuine MPT (male pipe thread) ends. At 3 inches long, it’s the versatile extension you reach for when space is tight and a solid thread-to-thread connection is essential.

Whether you’re replacing a damaged nipple, extending a run under a sink, or tying together two female-threaded components, this 3" black-steel nipple delivers a solid, plumb connection without fuss. Its straightforward thread-to-thread design makes installation quick and straightforward with common plumbing wrenches.

  • End details: 1-1/2 in. MPT connection
  • Length: 3 inches
  • Material & finish: Steel with black finish for a durable, low-profile look that blends with typical black iron piping
  • Applications: Ideal for residential plumbing, heating, and general piping projects that require a short, reliable nipple
  • Installation tips: Use PTFE thread seal tape or appropriate pipe thread sealant on male threads; tighten with a wrench to a snug, leak-free fit; avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage

With the Anvil name behind it, you get a dependable, straightforward solution built to perform in everyday piping tasks. Add this 3" black steel nipple to your toolkit for quick, secure connections that stand up to regular use in a variety of fittings and configurations.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
