Value Collection NB05030 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB05030 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, it connects sections of pipe or fittings in low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. The black finish results from an iron oxide coating applied during manufacturing, providing basic surface protection. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these nipples in both new construction and repair work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, heating, and gas distribution piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution headers, and compressed air runs. The 3/4 inch size is a widely used diameter in branch and main line configurations. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 5 per order.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe applications
• Threads meet ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Black iron oxide finish for basic corrosion resistance in dry and low-humidity environments
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in gas and fluid service
• 3/4 inch NPT thread size mates with standard pipe fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use component compatible with 3/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings in Schedule 40 steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as steel nipples can crack fittings if excessive force is applied.
