It measures 1\/4 inch nominal pipe size and 5-1\/2 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over standard Schedule 40 pipe. The black finish is a mill-applied iron oxide coating typical for gas service and non-potable fluid applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this nipple as a close-tolerance threaded connector between valves, tees, elbows, and other fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required. It is commonly installed inline between threaded black iron fittings, gas valves, or drip legs. The 1\/4 inch size is frequently used in low-pressure gas branch lines and instrumentation connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack iron oxide finish suitable for gas and non-potable fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in mechanical and piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 5-1\/2 inch length fits tight-clearance inline installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or installation nipple compatible with 1\/4 inch Schedule 80 black iron pipe fittings used in residential and commercial gas and fluid piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by jurisdiction. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the fluid system and depressurize before making any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench to bring fittings to proper makeup without stressing adjacent fittings or valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0302054\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723913822514,"sku":"0302054","price":19.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0ed5720c97a26e4d840273d1207288bc.jpg?v=1788609840","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-0302054-black-steel-pipe-nipple-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
