Value Collection NB01060 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB01060 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards. The black finish is a standard mill coating used in gas piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple to connect valves, fittings, and equipment in low-pressure threaded systems. The 1/8-inch thread size matches NPT standards common across residential and light commercial installations.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas supply lines, steam systems, and general industrial piping where a short threaded extension is needed. The 6-inch length makes it appropriate for close-to-medium reach connections between fittings, valves, and manifolds. It is commonly used in gas appliance connections, boiler trim piping, and similar Schedule 40 black iron pipe assemblies. Installation in gas service is subject to local codes and typically requires a licensed gas fitter or plumber.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with the applicable local plumbing or gas codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or compromise the joint seal.
