Value Collection NB01020 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB01020 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial applications. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple provides the wall thickness required for reliable service in both low- and medium-pressure systems. The black finish is standard for gas-line and industrial applications where galvanized coating is not required. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1/8-inch NPT threaded connections are needed. Common uses include gas supply branch lines, boiler piping, steam systems, and general-purpose water distribution where black iron pipe is specified. The 2-inch close-nipple length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance connections between fittings, valves, and equipment ports.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure threaded piping systems
• 1/8-inch NPT thread size compatible with standard fittings and valves
• Black finish suitable for gas and industrial service where galvanized pipe is not required
• Steel construction provides durability in high-temperature and moderate-pressure environments
• 2-inch length ideal for short, tight-clearance threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit nipple for 1/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 black iron pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service type. Shut off gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or strip threads.
