Value Collection 01L20480 Black Pipe Nipple 2x48 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01L20480 is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 specifications using a welded construction method. This nipple is designed for use in piping systems where a fully threaded or close-nipple extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. The black finish is standard for gas and certain fluid distribution lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in commercial and residential systems where Schedule 40 steel meets the pressure and temperature requirements of the application.

This pipe nipple is commonly used in natural gas distribution, steam lines, compressed air systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications. Its 2-inch nominal diameter and 48-inch length make it suitable for longer runs between fittings without requiring additional couplings. It is appropriate for both above-ground and accessible in-wall or in-trench installations where black steel pipe is the specified material per code or engineering requirements.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal pipe size with 2-inch thread size for standard NPT fitting compatibility
• 48-inch length provides an extended reach for longer piping runs
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for typical residential and light commercial pressure requirements
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Black finish coating standard for gas piping and non-corrosive fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple compatible with 2-inch Schedule 40 black iron pipe fittings, couplings, valves, and threaded connections in gas, steam, compressed air, and general fluid piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before making up connections. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use a nipple with crossed or stripped threads.
