Directedair dabn-05x240 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The DIRECTEDAIR dabn-05x240 is a black steel pipe nipple used to join threaded pipe sections in gas, HVAC, and plumbing piping systems. Black steel nipples are standard fittings in low-pressure gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating applications where galvanized or plastic fittings are not appropriate. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these fittings when assembling or extending threaded iron pipe runs. The black steel construction provides the durability and thread integrity required for professional trade installations.

Black steel pipe nipples are used in residential and light commercial settings for natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and hydronic piping. They are commonly installed at appliance connections, manifold assemblies, and branch takeoffs throughout a piping system. This nipple is suited for applications where black iron pipe is the specified material and a threaded close or short extension fitting is needed to complete the run.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and hydronic heating piping
• Threaded ends for standard iron pipe assembly and disassembly
• Compatible with standard pipe thread fittings and valves
• Manufactured to industry dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded black steel pipe nipple for use in residential and commercial gas, steam, and hydronic heating piping systems where black iron pipe fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the piping system and relieve pressure before disassembling or connecting any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping installations.
