Value Collection B10420 Black Pipe Nipple 2.5x3.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B10420 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in piping systems. At 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, this close-cut nipple bridges fittings, valves, and equipment in gas, steam, and hydronic systems. The black iron finish is standard for natural gas and propane distribution lines. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure requirements in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians reach for nipples like this when making up threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for use in gas distribution piping, steam heating systems, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating loops where black iron pipe is specified. The 2-1/2 inch size is common in commercial gas mains, boiler connections, and trunk lines feeding multiple appliances. Both ends are threaded to NPT standards, allowing direct makeup with standard black iron fittings, couplings, and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off gas or system pressure and bleed the line before breaking or making any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before makeup. Torque fittings to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per the applicable code — consult IFGC or local mechanical code for gas piping makeup requirements.
