Value Collection NB10001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB10001 is a black steel close nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 2.5 inches in diameter and 2.5 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 standard for gas and steam service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, repair, and retrofit work on iron pipe systems.

This close nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and general industrial fluid transfer. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service in systems where full-port, short-length connections are required between fittings or at equipment inlets and outlets. The 2.5-inch thread size accommodates standard NPT female fittings throughout the pipe run.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Close nipple configuration — 2.5 inches overall length for tight fitting-to-fitting connections
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and steam service
• NPT threads machined to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards
• Meets ASTM material standards for steel pipe nipples

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2.5-inch NPT threaded iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and fluid piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench on the fitting body, not on the nipple threads.
