Value Collection S160NB09040 Black Pipe Nipple 2in X 4in Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S160NB09040 is a Schedule 160 black steel pipe nipple rated for high-pressure piping applications. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple features threaded ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings. Schedule 160 wall thickness provides significantly greater pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 or 80 pipe, making it well suited for demanding industrial, mechanical, and process piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this wall thickness where elevated working pressures or additional mechanical strength are required by code or design.

This nipple is used in commercial and industrial piping systems where high-pressure service conditions demand heavier wall pipe. Common applications include steam lines, hydraulic supply lines, high-pressure water service, and gas distribution headers. The black steel finish is standard for gas distribution and many industrial fluid systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on systems that require Schedule 160 rated components.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service
• 2-inch nominal pipe size with threaded ends
• 4-inch overall length
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and industrial fluid service
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 2-inch Schedule 160 black steel piping systems using NPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the IPC and IFGC where gas service is involved. Thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium should be applied before makeup. Always depressurize and isolate the affected line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free connection.
