Value Collection MSCNB07025 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB07025 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, constructed from welded Schedule 40 steel with a black finish coating. The male NPT threads on both ends allow for direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. At 0.9 pounds, this nipple is suited for close-coupled connections where a short run of pipe is needed between two threaded components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in both residential and commercial settings.

This pipe nipple fits into standard threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size. The Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure water, gas, and steam distribution lines in commercial and residential construction. It is commonly used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs, connect to valves, unions, tees, or elbows, and complete rough-in piping work in mechanical rooms, boiler systems, and supply lines. The black finish is standard for natural gas and propane distribution piping, making this nipple a routine component in gas line assemblies as well.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness suits moderate-pressure piping applications
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to standard threaded fittings
• Black finish coating standard for gas distribution piping applications
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits widely available Schedule 40 fittings and valves
• Compact 2-1/2 inch length suited for close-coupled fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard MNPT x MNPT replacement nipple for 1-1/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems. Compatible with any standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings conforming to ASME B1.20.1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; for gas service, use a sealant rated for gas applications. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
