Value Collection NB01100 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB01100 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in low-pressure gas, water, and general plumbing systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is machined from steel with a black finish coating. The 1/8-inch NPT threads on both ends allow it to mate directly with standard threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections. It is a standard close-tolerance component installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 1/8-inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include gas supply lines, compressed air runs, water distribution, and boiler piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets system pressure requirements. The black finish is standard for gas service applications and distinguishes this nipple from galvanized fittings used in potable water lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping systems
• 1/8-inch NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to standard fittings
• Steel construction provides durability in gas, air, and water service
• Black finish coating standard for gas line identification and corrosion resistance
• 10-inch length provides reach between closely spaced fittings or valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 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) as appropriate. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread engagement.
