Value Collection S160NB09025 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S160NB09025 is a Schedule 160 black pipe nipple rated for high-pressure piping applications. It measures 2 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends. The heavy wall thickness of Schedule 160 construction makes this nipple suitable for demanding fluid and gas piping systems where standard or extra-heavy schedule pipe would be insufficient. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a short connector between threaded pipe sections, valves, couplings, or other threaded fittings in industrial and commercial piping runs.

This nipple is used in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty mechanical piping systems that require elevated pressure ratings. Schedule 160 wall thickness is typically specified in high-pressure steam, hydraulic, chemical, or process piping installations. The 2-inch diameter and 2-1/2-inch close-to-short length makes it a practical spacer or connector where minimal offset is needed between two threaded components.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 heavy wall construction for high-pressure service
• 2 inch nominal pipe diameter with NPT threads both ends
• 2-1/2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance installations
• Black steel finish standard for gas and steam piping applications
• Weighs 1.55 pounds — solid, full-wall construction throughout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for 2 inch Schedule 160 threaded steel piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3 for process piping. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads or cause fitting failure under pressure.
