Cambridge Resources 506863 Black Pipe Nipple 2x8

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 506863 is a black pipe nipple designed for use in gas, air, and fluid piping systems. This short-run threaded fitting connects two female-threaded fittings or valves in a piping assembly. The black finish is standard for gas distribution piping and distinguishes this fitting from galvanized water service fittings. At 2 inches nominal diameter and 8 inches in length, it suits a range of residential and light commercial pipe runs where a close or hex nipple would be too short and a longer pipe section would be excessive.

Black pipe nipples in this size range are commonly installed by licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and HVAC technicians. Typical applications include natural gas and propane supply lines, compressed air distribution, and steam or hydronic heating systems. The 2-inch diameter and 8-inch length make this fitting well suited for trunk line connections, appliance drops, and valve-to-pipe transitions in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and rooftop equipment installations.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal diameter with 8-inch body length for mid-run connections
• Black finish appropriate for gas and air service piping
• Threaded ends for standard NPT male connections
• Single-unit selling configuration for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black pipe nipple for use in gas, air, steam, and hydronic piping assemblies requiring a 2-inch nominal diameter fitting.

Installation Notes

Black pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable local codes. Shut off gas supply and verify zero pressure before removing or installing any threaded gas fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections. Pressure-test the assembly after installation before returning the system to service.
