1/2 inch x 10 inch Black Steel Nipple

1/2" x 10" Black Steel Nipple – Designed for High-Strength Piping Applications

The 1/2" x 10" Black Steel Nipple is manufactured for use in systems where strength, pressure resistance, and reliable threading are essential. Commonly utilized in gas and water distribution networks, this nipple provides a secure, threaded connection between iron or steel pipe segments, ensuring structural integrity and alignment in pressurized piping systems.

Performance and Application Highlights

• ✅ Carbon Steel Construction – Manufactured from Schedule 40 black steel, offering robust mechanical strength and temperature resistance.
• ✅ NPT Threaded Ends – Precision-machined National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads ensure leak-resistant joints when properly sealed.
• ✅ Corrosion-Tolerant Coating – Black oxide finish adds oxidation resistance during indoor use and pipe handling.
• ✅ Pressure-Grade Reliability – Suitable for use in medium- to high-pressure piping systems where galvanized pipe is not required.
