Value Collection NB01025 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB01025 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, with 1/8-inch NPT threads on both ends. The black finish coating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for dry or low-moisture environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when extending or connecting threaded pipe runs in residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is well-suited for low-pressure gas lines, steam systems, air lines, and water distribution applications where Schedule 40 steel construction is specified. Its compact 2.5-inch length fills short gaps between fittings or valves in tight spaces. The 1/8-inch diameter makes it a common choice for pilot gas lines, pressure gauge connections, and instrumentation taps in boiler and furnace systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded pipe service
• 1/8-inch NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• Black finish coating provides corrosion resistance in low-moisture environments

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, or IFGC requirements. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
