Value Collection MSCNB05045 Black Pipe Nipple 3/4x4.5in Sch40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB05045 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and industrial piping systems. It measures 3/4 inch in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends for a standard threaded connection. Constructed from welded steel with a black finish coating, it is designed for durability in moderate-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting when extending or joining threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including gas lines, steam systems, water distribution, and hydronic heating. The 3/4-inch pipe size is a common diameter in both supply and return runs. The 4-1/2-inch length makes it useful in close-quarter installations where a close or short nipple would be too short but a longer piece would be excessive. It ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure piping applications
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity
• Black finish coating suitable for gas and non-potable water service
• Male NPT threads on both ends for universal threaded pipe compatibility
• 3/4-inch thread size matches standard pipe fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard MNPT x MNPT Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple compatible with 3/4-inch threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the specific service type. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort thread engagement.
