Cambridge Resources fnb12x12 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES fnb12x12 is a close or short black steel pipe nipple designed for gas and air distribution piping in residential and light commercial systems. Manufactured from schedule 40 black steel, this nipple is hydrostatically tested to verify pressure integrity before leaving the factory. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install these nipples as connecting fittings between valves, appliances, and piping runs. The 0.5-inch nominal pipe size suits a wide range of standard threaded connections in low-pressure gas lines and compressed-air piping systems. It is not approved for use in potable water systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial installations where 0.5-inch schedule 40 black steel pipe is specified. Typical applications include natural gas and propane supply lines to appliances such as furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and unit heaters, as well as low-pressure air distribution piping. The schedule 40 wall thickness provides the strength and thread engagement required by most gas and mechanical codes.
