Value Collection NB06060 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB06060 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications. Manufactured from Schedule 40 steel with a black finish coating, this nipple measures 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. Both ends carry standard 1-inch NPT threads for direct connection to fittings, valves, and pipe sections. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure handling for typical low- and medium-pressure piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when extending, offsetting, or connecting sections of threaded iron or steel pipe.

This nipple is suited for use in gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution, and general-purpose industrial piping. It fits standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings including tees, elbows, couplings, and valves. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is commonly specified for gas piping and above-ground interior installations where corrosion exposure is limited.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Black finish coating suitable for gas and interior plumbing applications
• 1-inch NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• Steel construction for durability in steam, gas, and water piping systems
• 6-inch length provides a short extension or offset in tight piping layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use component for standard 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where applicable. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage threads or fittings.
