The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction, standard for gas and steam lines. Schedule 160 wall thickness provides significantly greater pressure-bearing capacity than standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 fittings, making it appropriate where elevated working pressures or mechanical stress are a factor. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this type of nipple as a close or short connector between threaded components in ferrous piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 160 wall thickness is specified. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, hydraulic fluid lines, and compressed air headers requiring extra-heavy-wall fittings. The 1\/2 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded connections and integrates directly into black iron piping runs. It is commonly used wherever a short threaded extension is needed between valves, fittings, or equipment connections in a ferrous pipe system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 160 wall thickness for elevated pressure and mechanical load applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threaded ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction for durability in ferrous piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact nipple form factor for tight-space connections between threaded components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit threaded component for 1\/2 inch Schedule 160 black iron or carbon steel piping systems using standard NPT threaded fittings and valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into mating fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160\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: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 583-001S160BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51713861353778,"sku":"583-001S160BC","price":16.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bcb045361413ed2cd6ff541092131292.jpg?v=1788495402","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-583-001s160bc-black-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-sch-160","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
