Value Collection NB06020 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB06020 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. It measures 1 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring reliable engagement with standard NPT fittings. Fabricated from steel and finished with a black coating, this nipple provides solid performance in low- to medium-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded black iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems including gas supply lines, steam lines, and water distribution where Schedule 40 black steel pipe is specified. The 1-inch nominal pipe size makes it a common choice for branch connections, drop nipples, and close nipple configurations in both new construction and retrofit service work. It meets ASTM material standards and carries the ANSI and ASME thread certifications required for code-compliant installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with 1-inch NPT threaded black steel pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Follow applicable codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) for gas piping or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for water and steam systems.
