Jones Stephens 34060 Black Pipe Nipple 4 X 6 Inches

Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS 34060 is a black metal pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems. It measures 4 inches in pipe size and 6 inches in overall length, with male NPT threads on both ends (MNPT x MNPT). This nipple serves as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, or other pipe sections. It is a standard component in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation in commercial and residential settings where black iron pipe is the specified material.

This nipple is suited for use in gas lines, steam systems, and general plumbing piping where black iron or steel pipe is required. The MNPT x MNPT configuration allows it to thread directly into female-threaded fittings, valves, or couplings without additional adapters. It is commonly installed in both residential and light commercial applications as a close or short extension between system components.

Key Features

• 4-inch pipe size with 6-inch overall length for precise extension spacing
• MNPT x MNPT connection on both ends for direct threaded installation
• Metal construction compatible with black iron piping systems
• Standard nipple form factor fits common pipe fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or extension nipple for 4-inch black iron threaded piping systems using NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, including the International Plumbing Code and International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
