Value Collection MSCNB06030 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB06030 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution systems. Manufactured from welded steel to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length. Both ends are threaded male NPT (MNPT x MNPT), allowing direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use close and short nipples like this one to close gaps between fittings or extend runs in tight spaces. The Schedule 40 rating confirms wall thickness suitable for standard-pressure service in residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing rough-in, natural gas and propane distribution piping, steam and hydronic heating systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies. Its black steel construction makes it appropriate for gas service where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code. It is a standard off-the-shelf replacement or new-install component for any 1-inch NPT threaded pipe system requiring a short connecting section.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe service
• Welded steel construction provides consistent dimensional tolerances
• MNPT x MNPT threading on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings
• Black steel finish suitable for gas piping applications where galvanized material is restricted
• Compact 3-inch length fills short gaps between fittings without additional cutting or threading

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-install nipple for 1-inch female NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings in Schedule 40 steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal without over-torquing the threads. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded components.
