Value Collection NB05025 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB05025 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length and is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Threads are cut to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring consistent fit with standard NPT fittings. The black steel construction makes this nipple suitable for gas piping, steam systems, and general-purpose fluid transfer where a galvanized finish is not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.

This nipple fits standard residential and light commercial piping applications. It is commonly used in natural gas supply lines, steam distribution, hydronic heating systems, and industrial fluid conveyance. The 3/4 inch size is one of the most common sizes in residential gas and water supply rough-in work. Where codes permit black steel for gas service, this nipple meets the dimensional and threading standards required for those installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement nipple for 3/4 inch Schedule 40 black steel pipe systems. Compatible with any standard 3/4 inch NPT female-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings meeting ANSI B1.20.1 thread form.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC requirements for water and steam systems. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
