Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect fittings, valves, or other pipe segments in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, compressed air, and general industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these as standard components in both new construction and retrofit work. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized pipe and is the accepted choice for natural gas and propane supply lines in most jurisdictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a 1\/2 inch threaded connection is required. Common install scenarios include gas appliance drops, boiler trim piping, compressed air headers, and general black iron piping assemblies. At 5-1\/2 inches in length, it provides a close-nipple alternative where spacing between fittings requires a defined standoff. Packaged in quantities of 25 units per package, this SKU is well suited for stocking service vehicles or supply rooms on active job sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-1\/2 inch overall length for defined fitting-to-fitting spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suitable for gas, air, and general piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged 25 pieces per unit of measure for efficient jobsite stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT threads allow direct makeup with standard black iron fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock component for 1\/2 inch NPT black iron piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable local mechanical codes.
