Matco-norca znb00212 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/8x2.5in Sch40

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA znb00212 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect or extend threaded pipe runs in gas, water, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1/8 inch nominal diameter with an overall length of 2-1/2 inches and features male NPT threads on both ends. The pipe body is welded ERW construction manufactured to ASTM A53/53M Grade B specification. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications where a short, reliable threaded connection is needed.

This nipple is suited for residential gas lines, commercial plumbing distribution, and light industrial pipe assemblies. The black steel finish is standard for dry gas service and non-potable applications. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness handles typical working pressures found in low-pressure gas and general fluid service. The lead-free designation makes it compliant with installations where lead-free materials are required by local code.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and IFGC requirements as applicable to the service type. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench sized to the fitting to bring threads fully into contact without stressing the fitting body.
