It is used to make short threaded connections between fittings, valves, and other piping components in low-pressure gas, air, and liquid distribution systems. The black iron finish is standard for natural gas and propane supply lines in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a short threaded run is required between two female-threaded fittings or valves. Typical applications include gas supply branch lines, compressed air distribution headers, and general-purpose black iron piping assemblies. The 1\/8 inch pipe size accommodates smaller-diameter branch connections common in gas appliance hookups and instrumentation lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty service in gas and fluid piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack iron finish — standard for natural gas and propane distribution piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch NPT threaded ends for connection to standard female-threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides durability in indoor piping assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-1\/2 inch length accommodates close-quarters piping runs where a longer nipple is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-duty replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with 1\/8 inch NPT female-threaded black iron fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and light commercial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of black iron pipe nipples in gas service must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the work area before threading or unthreading any component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all male threads before assembly. Pressure-test the completed assembly per local code requirements before restoring gas flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NB01055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721306964274,"sku":"NB01055","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4a12565013b8b4b97cb8d3ed2f3261a2.jpg?v=1788576153","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-nb01055-black-steel-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
