Value Collection MSCNB01040 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB01040 is a black steel pipe nipple rated Schedule 40 and sized at 1/8 inch diameter by 4 inches in length. It is manufactured using welded construction from steel and features male NPT threads on both ends. This nipple is used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in gas, plumbing, and HVAC distribution systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting where a short threaded extension between two female-threaded fittings or valves is required. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate pressure capacity for typical low-pressure residential and light commercial applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in black iron pipe systems commonly found in natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, and general plumbing applications. The 1/8 inch pipe size is typically found in branch connections, instrument taps, pilot gas lines, and other small-diameter runs. The welded steel construction is standard for black iron pipe fittings in these service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Welded steel construction provides consistent dimensional accuracy
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings
• 1/8 inch pipe size suits small-diameter branch and pilot gas line applications
• Black finish is standard for gas and steam piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1/8 inch female NPT threaded pipe connections in black iron pipe systems used for gas, steam, and general plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC gas technicians in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
