At 0.5 inches in nominal pipe size and 2 inches in length, this close-cut nipple provides a short, rigid threaded connection between fittings, valves, or pipe sections. The black finish indicates uncoated carbon steel, standard for gas and steam service. Both ends are threaded to NPT standards, allowing direct makeup with standard fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of Schedule 160 nipples in code-governed piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where elevated pressure ratings or reduced wall clearances require a heavier schedule than standard Schedule 40 or 80 pipe. Typical applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, steam piping, hydraulic return lines, and industrial process piping. The 0.5-inch nominal size is common at appliance drop connections, valve inlets, and branch takeoffs where compact thread engagement in a tight space is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 160 wall thickness for elevated pressure service versus Schedule 40 or 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch nominal pipe size with NPT-threaded ends for standard fitting makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 inch overall length for compact connections in tight piping layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack carbon steel finish standard for gas and steam piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece solid construction with no welds or joints in the nipple body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 0.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 160 black steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of black steel pipe nipples in gas or steam service must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and bleed the line to zero pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten threaded joints using power tools without monitoring engagement; check for leaks after restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.84 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANVIL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0332810209\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542978724146,"sku":"0332810209","price":28.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cb95c7b0e5643be20c1912a08b881dca_7e0e9776-4c44-45cd-a4ba-a9255f1d3c0c.jpg?v=1785912913","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anvil-0332810209-black-pipe-nipple-0-5-in-sch-160","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
