Ndl Industries NIPPLE1/8X2 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES NIPPLE1/8X2 is a black steel pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 service, sized at 1/8 inch nominal diameter and 2 inches in length. It features male threaded connections on both ends and a wall thickness of 0.068 inches. This nipple is a standard fitting used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in gas, plumbing, and mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, and general fluid conveyance piping where black steel construction is required or preferred.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a short close or extension nipple is needed in a threaded black iron pipe assembly. Typical installations include gas supply piping to furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and other fuel-burning appliances, as well as compressed air distribution and general black iron pipe systems. The 2-inch length makes it appropriate for tight clearance connections or short extension runs between fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated at 0.068 inches for standard-pressure service
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and general mechanical piping
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter fits common small-bore fitting and valve ports
• 2 inch length provides a close extension between threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using Schedule 40 black steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following local plumbing and mechanical codes, including applicable sections of the IPC and IFGC. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
