Value Collection MSCNB02050 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB02050 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where a threaded male connection is required on both ends. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length, this nipple is welded construction with a black finish coating and male NPT threads on each end. It is a standard trade component installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for low-pressure gas lines, steam systems, water supply piping, and general mechanical piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The 1/4 inch nominal pipe size and 5 inch length make it appropriate for close-quarter connections, manifold assemblies, and branch piping runs where a standard hex nipple would be too short. The MNPT x MNPT configuration allows direct threaded connection into fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Black finish coating for corrosion resistance in dry or low-humidity environments
• MNPT x MNPT thread configuration on both ends for straight inline connections
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 5 inch body length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for residential and commercial piping systems requiring 1/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded steel nipples in MNPT x MNPT configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings or equipment ports. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded component. Tighten to hand-snug plus wrench turns per standard trade practice — do not over-torque steel fittings into cast iron or brass ports.
