Southland 20206 Schedule 40 Black Iron Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The SOUTHLAND 20206 is a Schedule 40 black iron steel pipe nipple designed for use in residential and commercial piping systems. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is constructed from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist corrosion. It features standard NPT pipe threads on both ends and meets ASTM A53 specifications for steel pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, steam, and water supply piping applications where schedule 40 wall thickness is required.

This pipe nipple is suited for low-pressure gas lines, heating system piping, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial settings. It is sold individually and arrives shrink wrapped for protection. The black coating is standard for gas piping applications and distinguishes this product from galvanized fittings used in water service.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for gas and steam piping
• Black coating resists corrosion and is appropriate for gas line applications
• Meets ASTM A53 standards for welded steel pipe
• Standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with fittings and valves
• Individually shrink wrapped to protect threads during storage and transport

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 40 black iron pipe systems using NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe nipples on gas lines must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify the line is depressurized before beginning work. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on all threaded connections. Do not use this nipple on systems where galvanized fittings are specified.
