Value Collection NB09025 Schedule 40 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB09025 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. It features NPT-style threading on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, allowing it to thread directly into fittings, valves, or equipment ports without adapters. Black steel pipe nipples at this schedule carry the wall thickness required for pressure applications in gas and fluid systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as short-run connectors between threaded fittings and equipment in commercial and residential piping assemblies. The part weighs 0.65 pounds.

This nipple suits threaded piping systems found in natural gas supply lines, steam distribution, compressed air headers, and general plumbing installations. At 2-1/2 inches in length it falls into the close-to-short nipple range, making it useful when minimal clearance exists between two threaded connections. Plumbing, HVAC, and pipefitting contractors keep this size on hand for boiler connections, gas train assemblies, and mechanical room piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified by code or equipment manufacturer requirements.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for pressure-rated service in gas and fluid systems
• Black steel construction suitable for natural gas, steam, and compressed air applications
• Both ends threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards for reliable leak-free connections
• 2-inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length for tight-clearance installations
• Meets ASTM material standards for black steel pipe

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 black steel nipple compatible with 2-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in gas, steam, and fluid piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code, or the International Plumbing Code as appropriate to the service. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading connections. Do not over-tighten; hand-snug plus wrench turns per fitting manufacturer guidance is standard practice.
