Value Collection NB06001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB06001 is a black steel close nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1 inch nominal diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple meets the wall thickness requirements for standard-pressure applications. Threads are cut to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications, ensuring reliable engagement with standard NPT fittings and valves. The black steel finish is typical for gas and steam piping where galvanized coatings are not required or permitted.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial gas supply lines, water distribution, steam systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The close nipple configuration keeps the overall installed length short, making it the right choice when fittings must be positioned tight together with minimal clearance between them. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly use this size when working with 1-inch threaded iron pipe systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure service
• NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards
• Close nipple design minimizes installed length between fittings
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and steam applications
• ASTM-compliant material

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use component compatible with 1-inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe in Schedule 40 iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code for gas applications. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before making up the joint. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the connection to proper thread engagement without over-tightening.
