Value Collection NB09050 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x5 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB09050 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in gas, steam, and water piping systems. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, it threads directly into fittings, valves, manifolds, and other threaded components. The black steel construction resists high temperatures and moderate pressures, making it a standard choice for gas distribution lines, compressed air runs, and steam service. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring consistent fitment with commercially available threaded fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this type of nipple as part of rough-in and service work across residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial gas piping, steam distribution, and general-purpose black iron pipe systems. It is commonly installed between a shutoff valve and an appliance connection, in manifold assemblies, or anywhere a short threaded run is needed between two threaded ports. The 5-inch length provides enough standoff for most standard valve and fitting clearances without requiring field cutting.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard gas, steam, and water service pressures
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Black steel construction handles elevated temperatures common in gas and steam lines
• 5-inch length suits close-quarter fitting-to-fitting and valve-to-appliance connections
• ASTM-referenced material standard for consistent steel quality

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or service nipple for 2-inch black iron pipe systems conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 thread specifications, compatible with Schedule 40 fittings, valves, and couplings of the same nominal size.

Installation Notes

Black steel pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Work must comply with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping installations.
