Value Collection 03R0204800RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R0204800RTTM is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. With a nominal pipe size of 1/4 inch and an overall length of 48 inches, this nipple provides a long-run threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The Schedule 80 wall thickness delivers greater pressure ratings and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-demand applications. Weighing 2.04 pounds, this nipple is handled and installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on both new construction and retrofit projects.

This pipe nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial piping systems where a long, threaded black iron connection is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, compressed air lines, and hydraulic service piping. The black finish coating is standard for gas service piping and dry-system applications where corrosion from condensation is not a primary concern. The 48-inch length makes it well suited for spanning longer distances between threaded fittings without additional couplings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings and added mechanical strength over Schedule 40
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 48-inch length spans longer distances between fittings in a single piece
• Black finish coating standard for gas and dry-service pipe assemblies
• Weighs 2.04 pounds for straightforward single-tech handling and installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements for gas service applications. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
