Value Collection NB02080 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB02080 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple provides a standard wall thickness suited for low- to medium-pressure service lines. The black finish is a standard mill coating applied during manufacturing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these nipples when connecting valves, fittings, and fixtures in close-coupled configurations where a pre-threaded, ready-to-install piece is required.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including natural gas distribution lines, steam and water supply runs, air lines, and general mechanical piping. The 1/4 inch thread size fits standard NPT fittings throughout those systems. Its 8-inch body length suits runs that require a modest extension between fittings without a full pipe section. It is sold individually and is a direct drop-in for standard Schedule 40 threaded piping configurations.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before threading or removing any pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, which can crack fittings or strip threads.
