Value Collection MSCNB06055 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB06055 is a Schedule 40 welded black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. It measures 1 inch in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends. The black finish is a standard mill-applied oxide coating typical for carbon steel pipe fittings used in non-potable water, gas distribution, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close coupling between valves, fittings, and equipment flanges where a short-run threaded connection is required.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial mechanical systems including natural gas supply lines, steam and hot water heating systems, compressed air distribution, and general industrial pipe runs. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure requirements for these applications. The MNPT x MNPT thread configuration allows direct makeup into standard female NPT fittings, valves, and manifolds without adapters.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to female NPT fittings
• Black oxide finish appropriate for gas, steam, and non-potable water service
• 1 inch nominal pipe size with 5.5 inch overall length for close-coupled runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation pipe nipple for any system using 1 inch nominal Schedule 40 black steel threaded pipe with MNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC, IFGC, or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
