Value Collection NB05055-5PK Black Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 40 5-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB05055-5PK is a black pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, built to Schedule 40 wall thickness with threaded ends on both sides. This fitting is used to create a short, rigid connection between two threaded pipe fittings or components in a piping system. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes it suitable for standard-pressure applications in gas, water, and steam distribution lines. This pack includes 5 nipples, making it practical for jobs that require multiple fittings of the same size. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trade professionals who install this type of fitting.

Black pipe nipples in this size range are commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems. Typical applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as hydronic heating systems and certain industrial fluid-transfer setups. The 3/4 inch size is a standard dimension frequently encountered in main gas supply runs and boiler piping. The threaded ends conform to standard NPT thread form, allowing connection to standard pipe fittings, valves, and equipment inlets.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• 5-1/2 inch overall length suitable for close-coupled connections with clearance for wrenching
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to NPT-compatible fittings and valves
• Black steel construction appropriate for gas and hydronic piping applications
• Pack of 5 units supports multi-point installations or service call stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded black steel pipe nipple for use in Schedule 40 gas, water, and hydronic piping systems requiring a 3/4 inch nominal pipe size connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing and mechanical codes, including applicable sections of the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using appropriate pipe wrenches. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
