Value Collection MSCNB08030 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB08030 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical piping systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, this nipple features welded steel construction and male NPT threads on both ends (MNPT x MNPT). It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving gas distribution lines, steam systems, water supply piping, and general industrial pipe runs. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard service requirements for moderate-pressure systems. The 1-1/2-inch thread size allows direct connection to compatible Schedule 40 fittings, valves, and flanges of the same nominal pipe size.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate-pressure service in standard pipe systems
• Welded steel construction provides consistent strength along the pipe body
• MNPT x MNPT thread configuration for straightforward connection between threaded fittings
• 1-1/2 inch nominal diameter compatible with standard Schedule 40 pipe fittings of the same size
• Compact 3-inch length suits tight-clearance installations where a close nipple is too short
• Black steel finish typical for gas and steam piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service nipple for use with Schedule 40 threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings with a 1-1/2 inch MNPT connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as applicable to the system type. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system and isolate any gas or water supply before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
