Value Collection 03R0207200RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R0207200RTTM is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch diameter and 72 inches in length. Schedule 80 pipe carries a thicker wall than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications and environments where mechanical strength matters. The black finish is a standard mill coating used in gas distribution, compressed air, and general industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a close or extension fitting between threaded pipe components. At 3.06 pounds, the 72-inch length provides a full-run extension without a coupling in smaller-diameter gas or air lines.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection is required over an extended run. Common applications include natural gas branch lines, propane distribution, compressed air headers, and low-pressure steam or water service. The Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate where codes or system design call for additional pressure rating beyond Schedule 40. It connects directly to any standard 1/4-inch NPT fitting, valve, or threaded pipe end.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 72 inch length provides a long continuous run without an intermediate coupling
• Black mill finish suitable for gas, air, and general industrial service
• Threaded ends ready for direct connection to standard 1/4-inch NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement or extension nipple for any system using standard 1/4-inch NPT Schedule 80 black iron pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas service, or ASME B31 piping standards for pressure systems. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded connections. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stress cracking at the fitting can result in leaks.
