It is a short threaded pipe fitting used to connect sections of pipe or to join pipe to valves, couplings, and other fittings in low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. Manufactured to ASTM A733 specifications and hydrostatically tested, this nipple is built for reliable service in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work and system assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis black steel nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where black iron pipe is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, and general-purpose water distribution where corrosion resistance from black oxide finish is acceptable. The 0.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard half-inch threaded pipe systems. Installers use this nipple in both new construction and retrofit applications where a short close-nipple run is required between two threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to ASTM A733 specifications for dimensional and material consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydrostatically tested to verify pressure integrity before shipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in gas and fluid piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard threaded ends for compatibility with NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel finish suited for gas and steam service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component fitting for 0.5-inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of black steel pipe nipples in gas service must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including IFGC and local amendments. Shut off the gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded joints. Inspect threads for damage before assembly and do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A733\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTesting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hydrostatically tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: fnb12x5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383741120818,"sku":"FNB12X5","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312674903.webp?v=1782605992","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cambridge-resources-fnb12x5-black-steel-pipe-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
