It serves as a short threaded connector used to join pipe sections, valves, or fittings within a piping assembly. The extra heavy wall designation provides greater pressure tolerance and durability compared to standard schedule fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples in gas, steam, and water distribution systems where a reliable, close-coupled threaded connection is required. The black steel construction makes it well suited for gas and steam service where galvanized coatings are not permitted or preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping applications, including natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and industrial process piping. The 1\/4 inch thread size fits smaller branch lines and instrument connections commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and gas train assemblies. It is an import product intended for use where non-domestic sourcing is acceptable per project specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) wall construction for increased pressure capacity over standard fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel material suited for gas and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch overall length for close-coupled installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.10 pounds per piece for easy handling in quantity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or stocking nipple for 1\/4 inch threaded black steel piping systems, compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves of the same thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium.
