Schedule 160 designates a heavier wall than standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings, making this nipple suitable for higher-pressure piping applications where added wall strength is required. The black finish indicates an uncoated carbon steel construction typical for gas, steam, and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple as a close coupling between valves, fittings, or equipment connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short, heavy-wall threaded connection is needed. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, hydraulic fluid lines, and industrial process piping. The 2-1\/2 inch length makes it suitable for close-coupled connections with minimal exposed thread between fittings. Its Schedule 160 rating places it in service environments where system pressure or mechanical stress exceeds what lighter-schedule pipe can handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 160 heavy wall construction for high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch overall length for close-coupled fitting installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack steel finish appropriate for gas, steam, and industrial fluid lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement nipple for 1\/2 inch Schedule 160 piping systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and industrial fluid applications.\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 such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-torque the connection, as Schedule 160 nipples at 1\/2 inch diameter can be damaged by excessive wrench force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.27 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: 583-025S160BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698070323506,"sku":"583-025S160BC","price":23.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/796d1a827e217210c976831eaea8503a.jpg?v=1788357342","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-583-025s160bc-black-pipe-nipple-sch-160","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
