Legend 1394 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 X 6 Inch

Product Description

The Legend 1394 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch by 6 inches, used to connect threaded pipe fittings in gas, steam, and water piping systems. Black steel construction makes it a standard choice for natural gas and propane distribution lines where galvanized or plastic fittings are not appropriate. The male NPT threads on both ends allow for direct installation into standard threaded fittings, valves, and couplings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of nipple during new construction and service work on gas or steam systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a short, threaded black steel extension is needed between two pipe fittings. Typical uses include close-coupled gas appliance connections, boiler piping, and steam distribution headers. Its 6-inch length makes it useful where a longer close nipple or hex nipple will not reach, and where a full-length pipe section would be excessive. Installers working on gas lines should verify local code compliance and required sealant type before installation.

Key Features

• Black steel construction suitable for natural gas and propane piping
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 6-inch body length for short extension runs between fittings
• Compatible with standard threaded black steel fittings, valves, and couplings
• Meets common requirements for gas and steam piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded black steel piping systems used in gas, steam, and water service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before cutting into or disconnecting existing piping. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all NPT threaded connections. Do not use open-flame tools near gas lines during installation or testing.
