Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

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

Meet the Anvil 1/4 in. MPT Black Steel 2-1/2 in. L Nipple — a trusted, compact connector built for dependable performance in tight spaces. Featuring a precise 1/4" male pipe thread (MPT) on one end, this steel nipple brings secure, ready-made connections to your plumbing and piping projects with a clean black finish that pairs seamlessly with standard black steel fittings.

Key features

  • 1/4" MPT on one end for quick, secure threading with compatible fittings
  • 2-1/2" overall length provides reach in confined spaces and convenient alignment
  • Material: Steel delivers solid durability for everyday plumbing tasks
  • Finish: Black offers a classic look and compatibility with black steel piping systems

Ideal uses

This nipple is a practical choice for extending threaded connections in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Use it to bridge components in water, air, or non-potable piping where a standard 1/4" MPT connection is required. Its compact profile makes it especially useful for repairing or reconfiguring lines in tight utility spaces, behind walls, under sinks, or along compact plumbing runs.

Why choose Anvil

As a trusted name in pipe fittings, Anvil delivers consistent quality with steel construction that stands up to daily use. The black finish not only provides a timeless, professional look but also integrates smoothly with existing black steel systems, helping you maintain a cohesive appearance across your installations.

Installation tips

  • Apply PTFE thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the male threads before tightening to ensure a leak-free seal.
  • Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug securely. Avoid overtightening which can damage threads.
  • Verify alignment after installation and check for leaks with water pressure tests before putting the line into service.
