Value Collection NB09001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB09001 is a close-pattern black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 40 wall thickness, measuring 2 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length. It is designed for use in threaded piping assemblies where a short, rigid connection is required between fittings, valves, or components. The black finish coating is standard for gas piping applications. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT fittings. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for use in natural gas, propane, steam, and water piping systems where Schedule 40 steel is specified. The close nipple configuration makes it ideal for tight-space installations where minimal distance is needed between two threaded connection points. Typical applications include gas supply lines, boiler piping, and steam distribution headers in residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not use this fitting beyond the pressure and temperature ratings established by the applicable piping standard for Schedule 40 steel.
