Value Collection NB02025 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB02025 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in low-pressure piping systems. Sized at 1/4 inch nominal diameter and 2.5 inches in overall length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness for reliable service in gas, air, and water distribution applications. The black finish is the standard mill coating applied to carbon steel pipe fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly stock these nipples for service and new installation work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where 1/4 inch NPT threaded connections are required. Common applications include gas supply lines to appliances, compressed air distribution drops, and general plumbing rough-in work. The short 2.5 inch body makes it a practical close-run fitting when tight spacing is needed between valves, tees, or other fittings. It is installed wherever a short threaded extension or transition between threaded components is needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded pipe service
• 1/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard fittings and valves
• Carbon steel construction with black mill finish
• 2.5 inch overall length suits tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for any threaded 1/4 inch NPT piping system using Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians depending on the application. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten to snug plus the number of turns appropriate for the thread size per the applicable code, and pressure-test the joint before returning the system to service.
