Constructed from welded steel with a black finish coating, this nipple provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point in low-pressure piping systems. Male NPT threads on both ends allow for direct threaded assembly into fittings, valves, or other threaded components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of nipple in gas distribution, compressed air, and water piping applications where Schedule 40 wall strength is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations. It is commonly used in natural gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work. The 1\/2 inch size is one of the most frequently specified diameters in residential gas and water service. The 3-1\/2 inch length makes it a practical close-to-standard nipple for tight-clearance connections where a close nipple is too short and a longer run nipple is unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish coating suitable for gas line and industrial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale NPT threads on both ends for universal threaded fitting compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch pipe size — one of the most common sizes in residential and light commercial work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs approximately 1.1 pounds for straightforward single-hand installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 1\/2 inch MNPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in Schedule 40 black steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. Always verify system pressure rating and shut off the supply line fully before replacing or adding any nipple in a live system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 3-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: MSCNB04035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689176531250,"sku":"MSCNB04035","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/757228601cc581251f9b238b0d32ee84.jpg?v=1788255635","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mscnb04035-black-steel-pipe-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
