Measuring 1\/2 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, this Schedule 160 nipple provides significantly thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 or 80 pipe, making it suited for demanding service conditions. Both ends are threaded for standard NPT connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple when system pressure, temperature, or code requirements call for heavy-wall pipe construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple fits into black iron and steel pipe assemblies commonly found in commercial and industrial gas distribution, steam lines, hydraulic systems, and other high-pressure fluid-handling applications. The black finish is standard for non-galvanized steel pipe used in gas service. It is typically installed in new construction or as a direct replacement in existing Schedule 160 threaded piping systems where wall thickness and pressure rating are critical design factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 inch overall length suits close-quarter connection runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for steel gas and industrial piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs approximately 0.33 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 160 threaded black steel piping systems using 1\/2 inch nominal pipe size connections.\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 tightening. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as Schedule 160 fittings are used in high-pressure systems where joint integrity is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\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\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded (NPT both ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.33 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: 583-030S160BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689499230514,"sku":"583-030S160BC","price":26.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cbb56eacf3106002e17c8d96b97ffefc.jpg?v=1788260455","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-583-030s160bc-black-pipe-nipple-sch-160","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
