NDL Black Nipple 1/2" X 48" BPF113BS-D48

The NDL BPF113BS-D48 is a 1/2 inch by 48 inch black iron pipe nipple, threaded at both ends for gas and threaded piping applications.

Gas piping installation is governed by codes that address matters beyond the pipe itself, and the requirements are worth knowing because they are enforced at inspection.

Support spacing is specified by pipe size, and unsupported runs sag and place stress on threaded joints. Piping must be protected where it passes through framing, typically with striker plates where a fastener could later be driven into it. Concealed joints are restricted, since a leak in an inaccessible location cannot be detected. Piping in some locations requires protection from corrosion or physical damage, and runs through certain spaces may be prohibited entirely.

A shutoff valve is required at each appliance, positioned within reach and in the same room, so that the appliance can be isolated for service without shutting down the building supply.

Sediment traps, sometimes called drip legs, are required ahead of many appliances to collect debris and moisture before it reaches the controls.

Pressure testing to the code specified pressure and duration, before the system is put into service, is a requirement rather than good practice.

Confirm pipe size, length, and thread specification. Work on fuel gas piping should be performed by suitably qualified persons, and the installation leak tested throughout before use.
