Value Collection NB06050 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1x5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB06050 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and general piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple provides a threaded connection point between fittings, valves, or pipe runs. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring consistent fitment with standard NPT fittings. The black steel construction makes it suitable for gas, air, and water distribution where corrosion-resistant coatings are not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in both new construction and service work.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial installations involving natural gas lines, compressed air distribution, hydronic heating systems, and industrial piping. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for typical trade applications. At 1 inch nominal pipe size and 5 inches in length, it fits standard close-quarters connections where a longer nipple or coupling extension is needed between fittings or at equipment takeoffs.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping applications
• Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, air, and water service
• 1 inch nominal diameter x 5 inch length for close-run connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-install nipple compatible with 1 inch Schedule 40 black steel pipe systems and standard NPT fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
