Matco-norca 330060203 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 5x12 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 330060203 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 5 inches in diameter by 12 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components within a piping system. This nipple is constructed from black steel, making it well suited for gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping applications. At 14.62 pounds, it is a substantial fitting intended for heavier-duty installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians are the primary trades that install this type of component.

This black steel nipple is typically used in residential and commercial gas piping, fire suppression, steam, and industrial fluid systems where black steel pipe and fittings are specified. Its 5-inch diameter makes it appropriate for larger-bore piping runs or main supply lines. It is threaded on both ends per standard NPT configuration, allowing direct connection to compatible black steel fittings, valves, and couplings. Import-sourced construction makes it accessible for projects requiring cost-effective black steel pipe components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant to the service. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the piping section completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe compound rated for the intended service medium to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this may damage threads or cause joint failure.
