Value Collection 0302090 Black Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0302090 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple features a black finish coating and heavy-wall Schedule 80 construction, which provides greater pressure resistance and wall thickness compared to Schedule 40. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians wherever a short threaded section of pipe is needed to connect fittings, valves, or equipment in a run.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications including gas supply lines, water distribution, compressed air systems, and steam service where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. The 1/4 inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded fittings of the same diameter. The 9 inch length makes it appropriate for close-clearance connections or extensions between two threaded components without requiring a cut-to-length pipe section.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Black finish coating suitable for gas and steam service applications
• Standard NPT threading on both ends for compatibility with common threaded fittings
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits compact systems and tight installation spaces
• 9 inch length provides a ready-to-install solution without field cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 80 pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or water service and relieve system pressure before threading any nipple into the line. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe-joint compound rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
