BECK 1/4" NPT Steel Pipe Nipple

This BECK steel pipe nipple connects two female NPT fittings in a straight line. The 3-inch length suits air, gas, non-potable water and oil lines rated to 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Welded Grade B steel construction with a black anodized finish is made in the USA.

Installers needing a short 1/4-inch NPT spacer

Plumbers and maintenance technicians use this nipple to bridge gaps between valves, regulators or gauges in small-bore piping systems. It is not for potable water service or for systems that require a larger nominal bore or a different thread standard.

No accessories or software included

The nipple ships as a single finished fitting ready for thread sealant and installation. No gaskets, sealant, brackets or documentation are bundled, so the installer supplies any required thread tape or compound.
