Ndl Industries NIPPLE1/4X5 Black Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES NIPPLE1/4X5 is a black pipe nipple used to connect sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length, this close-tolerance fitting provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other pipe components. The black finish is standard for gas distribution and low-pressure steam applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as part of routine pipe assembly and repair work.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a short threaded extension is needed between fittings. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane systems, air lines, and general plumbing distribution. The 1/4 inch size is frequently used for pilot gas lines, gauge connections, and other small-diameter service runs where a compact, threaded fitting is required.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch diameter with 5 inch length for precise thread-to-thread connections
• Black finish suitable for gas and low-pressure steam service
• Standard NPT threading for compatibility with common fittings and valves
• Compact nipple form factor for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black pipe nipple for use in 1/4 inch threaded pipe systems across residential and commercial gas, plumbing, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten, as this can damage threads or cause fitting failure.
