Nipples 330502204 Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Npt Sch 80 Steel 6 in

Product Description

The NIPPLES 330502204 is a Schedule 80 welded steel pipe nipple designed for medium-pressure piping systems. Measuring 6 inches in overall length with a 1/8-inch nominal pipe size, this nipple features male NPT threads on both ends. The welded construction and Schedule 80 wall thickness of 0.095 inches deliver greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40 nipples while keeping a manageable wall profile for tight-clearance installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in commercial and industrial piping runs where standard Schedule 40 fittings are insufficient for the operating pressure demands of the system.

This nipple is suited for medium-pressure gas, air, water, and fluid piping applications where NPT-threaded connections are required. The 1/8-inch nominal pipe size makes it a common choice for instrumentation lines, pilot lines, and low-flow service connections in mechanical rooms and industrial facilities. Both ends accept standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings rated for Schedule 80 service. Steel construction holds up to higher temperatures and pressures than plastic alternatives in comparable pipe sizes.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure rating than Schedule 40 pipe nipples of the same diameter
• Welded steel construction for durability in medium-pressure service
• Male NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• 1/8-inch nominal pipe size for instrument, pilot, and low-flow service lines
• 6-inch overall length suits close-quarters and standard offset piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 medium-pressure threaded piping systems using 1/8-inch NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe nipples is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the service medium. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT threads before assembly. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded component. Do not over-tighten NPT connections, as steel nipples in small nominal sizes are susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
