Ward Manufacturing Llc 140080 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 4 Inch X 8 Inch Sch 40 Std Welded Mnpt

Product Description

The Ward Manufacturing LLC 140080 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for demanding industrial and commercial piping applications. This nipple measures 4 inches in nominal size and 8 inches in length, making it a practical close-length fitting for connecting pipes, valves, and other threaded components in gas, water, and steam distribution systems. It is manufactured in the United States using welded steel construction and finished in black, which helps distinguish it from galvanized fittings and indicates it is suited for gas line and low-pressure steam applications where coating is not required. The male NPT threading on both ends conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 standards, ensuring a tight, leak-resistant connection with standard pipe fittings and valves. The Schedule 40 standard wall rating means this nipple provides the wall thickness needed to handle moderate system pressures while remaining compatible with the widest range of schedule-matched pipe and fittings. Steel construction gives the fitting the tensile strength and durability required in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, HVAC systems, and commercial plumbing installations. Ward Manufacturing is a well-established name in threaded pipe fittings, and every piece undergoes strict metallurgical and processing controls from raw material through finished product. The 140080 is rated for temperatures from -20 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, making it appropriate for most indoor mechanical systems and unheated utility spaces. It meets ASTM A53 and A733 material standards as well as ASME B1.20.1 threading requirements. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC contractors rely on consistent wall thickness and precise threading to prevent installation callbacks. At 5.888 pounds, this fitting carries the solid mass expected of full-schedule black steel pipe components. Whether used in new construction or retrofit work, this nipple delivers the reliability professionals depend on.
