Value Collection NB09060 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 2x6 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB09060 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and industrial piping systems. It measures 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. The black finish is a standard mill coating suited for above-ground gas distribution, steam, and general plumbing applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of nipple as a close coupling between fittings, valves, and pipe runs.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial piping installations where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, steam distribution, fire suppression rough-in, and general industrial fluid transport. The 2-inch diameter suits main distribution lines and branch takeoffs in both new construction and retrofit service work. Thread compatibility with standard NPT fittings makes it a straightforward drop-in component on most jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements including IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service media before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or damage threads.
