2 inch x 60 inch Black Steel Nipple

2" x 60" Black Steel Nipple – Engineered for High-Pressure System Integrity

The 2" x 60" Black Steel Nipple is manufactured to meet rigorous industrial specifications, providing a dependable solution for extended pipe runs in pressurized systems. Constructed from seamless Schedule 40 black steel pipe and threaded to ANSI B1.20.1 standards, this nipple is designed for strength, dimensional accuracy, and corrosion resistance in non-potable applications.

Core Performance Features

• Material Grade: Seamless carbon steel conforming to ASTM A106 or A53, offering robust performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
• Threaded Ends: Machined NPT threads ensure leak-resistant assembly with compatible threaded fittings and valves.
• Length: 60-inch cut length provides extended reach without compromising structural stability.
• Wall Thickness: Schedule 40 construction balances pressure capacity and ease of installation.
• Finish: Black oxide coating enhances resistance to rust and oxidation during transport and storage.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Pipe Size: 2 inches
• Length: 60 inches
• Connection Type: Male NPT x Male NPT
• Material: ASTM A106 Grade B or equivalent black steel
• Standards: Threads per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, pipe dimensions per ASME B36.10M

Installation Considerations

Use with compatible NPT-threaded pipe fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before tightening with a pipe wrench. Avoid over-torquing to preserve thread integrity and prevent stress fractures. This product is intended for use in non-potable systems only and should not be used for conveying drinking water.

Common Applications

Typically used in mechanical, HVAC, compressed air, and fuel oil systems, the 2" x 60" black steel nipple is ideal for gas piping networks, hydronic heating loops, and other industrial and commercial installations where extended linear pipe lengths are required.

Did You Know?

Black steel pipe is uncoated and suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. For installations exposed to moisture or corrosive environments, external coatings or alternate materials such as galvanized or stainless steel are recommended.

The 2" x 60" Black Steel Nipple delivers durability, dimensional precision, and compliance with recognized standards—an essential component for any professional-grade pipe system.
