1 inch x 60 inch Black Steel Nipple

1 Inch x 60 Inch Black Steel Nipple – Threaded Pipe Fitting

The 1 inch x 60 inch black steel nipple is a straight pipe segment with male NPT threads on both ends. It is used for extending pipe runs and connecting equipment or fittings in threaded pipe systems. Manufactured from schedule 40 black steel pipe, this fitting provides dependable performance in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications.

Performance and Material Characteristics

• Material: Carbon steel, black finish
• Nominal Size: 1 inch
• Length: 60 inches (5 feet overall pipe length)
• Thread Type: NPT (National Pipe Tapered), ANSI B1.20.1 compliant
• Wall Thickness: Schedule 40
• Finish: Black oxide coating to reduce corrosion in non-potable systems

Key Applications

This nipple is designed for use in systems that convey gas, air, oil, or non-potable water. It is typically found in:

• Natural gas and propane distribution systems
• Low-pressure steam or air supply lines
• Fire protection piping (dry systems)
• Mechanical and HVAC infrastructure requiring rigid pipe extensions

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation includes the use of thread sealant (PTFE tape or pipe dope) to ensure a leak-resistant joint. Threads should be inspected for damage before assembly. Tightening with an appropriate pipe wrench should be done with care to avoid over-torquing and damaging the threads or mating components.

Compliance Notes

This component is intended for use in systems where black steel pipe is permitted under local code. It is not rated for use in potable water systems. Ensure that all materials in the system meet pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistance requirements as dictated by project specifications and jurisdictional code.

The 1 inch x 60 inch black steel nipple is a durable, precision-machined component suitable for extended pipe runs and system modifications in commercial and industrial settings. Its solid construction and adherence to standard dimensions ensure compatibility and reliable sealing when used with other NPT-threaded components.
