At 4.5 inches in length with a standard 4-inch nominal diameter on both ends, this nipple provides a rigid, close-coupled joint between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. The black steel finish indicates this nipple is manufactured without galvanizing, making it well suited for natural gas and propane distribution lines as well as non-potable water and steam applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial gas supply lines, fire suppression headers, steam heating systems, and industrial process piping where a threaded connection of moderate length is required. The 4.5-inch body length accommodates installations that need more clearance than a close nipple but less extension than a longer hex or running nipple. It is appropriate for above-ground, exposed, or concealed installations per applicable local code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction with no galvanizing, suitable for gas service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5-inch body length for moderate offset or extension between fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch nominal diameter on both ends for standard threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRigid one-piece steel body resists vibration and mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard NPT threaded piping systems using 4-inch nominal black steel pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable.
