Directedair dabn-05x70 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The DIRECTEDAIR dabn-05x70 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 7 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to join two fittings, valves, or pipe segments in a piping system. This nipple is fabricated from black steel, making it well suited for gas lines, steam systems, and general plumbing applications where galvanized or plastic fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters routinely use nipples of this type when assembling or extending supply lines in both residential and commercial installations.

This nipple fits standard 0.5-inch NPT threaded connections and is appropriate for use in gas distribution piping, hydronic heating systems, steam lines, and general plumbing rough-in work. The 7-inch length makes it useful where a close or short nipple would leave insufficient clearance for wrenching or where additional offset between fittings is needed. It is suitable for residential and light commercial applications.

Key Features

• Black steel construction rated for gas, steam, and general plumbing service
• 0.5-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 7-inch overall length provides working clearance between fittings
• Compatible with standard malleable iron and black steel fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT threaded replacement or extension nipple for 0.5-inch black steel piping systems used in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
