It measures 1\/4 inch nominal diameter and 12 inches in length, built to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The black finish results from an oil-coating process applied after threading and is standard for gas-service and non-potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in both commercial and residential systems where a short, fully threaded or close-threaded connection is needed between valves, tees, elbows, or other NPT fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple fits into gas supply lines, compressed air systems, fire suppression piping, and general industrial plumbing where a 1\/4-inch NPT male-threaded steel pipe section is required. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for light to moderate service. The 12-inch length provides a straight run between two threaded components without cutting or threading pipe on the job site, saving time during assembly or repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard plumbing and gas-line service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to standard threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch body length eliminates field threading for this span\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas-service and non-potable piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides durability in mechanical and industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1\/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code, depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; snug plus two turns wrench-tight is a common field standard, though always defer to the applicable code and system requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 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\/4 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: 0.41 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: NB02120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699308298546,"sku":"NB02120","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/abe68eace8c6c6d239d8016b4f7ae907.jpg?v=1788374875","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-nb02120-black-pipe-nipple-1-4x12-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
