The 4 x Close Black Nipples is a 4" short, threaded pipe fitting with NPT male threads on both ends, designed for tight connections with minimal spacing between fittings in gas, steam, air, and water systems. Its close length makes it ideal for compact piping installations where space is limited. The tapered NPT threads ensures a secure, leak-proof connection when sealed properly.
