Value Collection NB09045 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB09045 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple delivers the wall thickness required for standard-pressure service lines. Both ends are threaded to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications, ensuring consistent fit with standard NPT fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close-coupled connector between valves, fittings, and equipment in a wide range of commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for use in black iron pipe systems commonly found in natural gas supply lines, steam distribution, and general-purpose plumbing where corrosion-resistant coatings are not required. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard working pressures in these system types. The 2-inch diameter and 4.5-inch length fill the gap between fittings where a close nipple or longer section would not fit correctly.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure piping service
• Threaded ends conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Black finish steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and mechanical piping
• 2-inch pipe size with 4.5-inch overall length for close-coupled connections
• Meets ASTM material standards for steel pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 2-inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Avoid overtightening, which can crack cast fittings or distort threads.
