Value Collection MSCNB02060 Black Pipe Nipple 1/4in X 6in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB02060 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple sized at 1/4 inch diameter and 6 inches in length. Constructed from welded steel with a black finish coating, this nipple serves as a short threaded connector between pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in fluid and gas distribution systems. Male NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to standard female-threaded fittings. At 1.5 pounds, the part is solid and ready for demanding service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples routinely in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, gas distribution, and industrial fluid systems where Schedule 40 black steel pipe is specified. The MNPT x MNPT thread configuration makes it straightforward to thread into tees, elbows, unions, valves, and other female-threaded components. Black steel pipe nipples of this size are commonly found in natural gas and propane supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and compressed air distribution runs.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure service in gas and fluid piping systems
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Black finish coating standard for gas and hydronic heating service
• MNPT x MNPT thread configuration on both ends for universal female-threaded fitting compatibility
• Compact 6 inch length suitable for close-quarter connections and extensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting compatible with standard 1/4 inch Schedule 40 female NPT threaded pipe fittings and valves in black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where gas or water service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or threading any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
