Value Collection MSCNB05040 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB05040 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple provides standard wall thickness suited for low- to medium-pressure applications. The welded construction delivers consistent strength along the body, and the black finish is applied over the bare steel. Male NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to standard female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians commonly use these nipples for gas and hydronic connections.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where Schedule 40 steel is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air headers, and general water service piping where steel is required by code or design. The MNPT x MNPT thread configuration makes it a direct thread-in component requiring no additional adapters when connecting same-size female-threaded components.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• Welded steel construction provides uniform body integrity
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings
• Black finish over steel suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic service
• 3/4 inch diameter x 4 inch length fits common residential and commercial pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 3/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
