Cambridge Resources 506840 Black Pipe Nipple 1x9

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 506840 is a black pipe nipple designed for use in piping systems requiring a short threaded connector between fittings or components. This nipple features a black finish and measures 1 inch in diameter by 9 inches in length. It serves as a standard close-coupled connector in gas, air, or water piping assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during rough-in work and system assembly where a rigid threaded connection is needed between two female-threaded ports.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. It is commonly used in gas distribution piping, boiler trim, water supply lines, and HVAC-related piping runs. The black finish is typical of black steel pipe fittings used in gas service applications. Installation requires matching the pipe thread specification to the adjoining fittings in the assembly.

Key Features

• Black finish consistent with black steel pipe fittings used in gas and mechanical piping
• 1 inch nominal pipe diameter for compatibility with standard 1 inch threaded fittings
• 9 inch length provides an extended reach between two threaded connection points
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for use in 1 inch threaded piping systems including gas, air, and water service assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working under applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape rated for the service type. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or create leaks.
