A close nipple is fully threaded end to end with no unthreaded center, making it ideal for situations where fittings must connect with minimal space between them. This fitting is used in gas, steam, air, and water piping systems and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians. The extra heavy wall schedule provides additional strength and pressure tolerance compared to standard weight nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where threaded black steel fittings are specified.
