Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The STZ Industries 1/4 in. MIP x 1/4 in. MIP Black Steel Nipple, 3-1/2 in. long, is a compact, durable connector designed to bridge two female-threaded fittings with reliability you can feel in every turn.

  • End connections: 1/4 in. MIP on both ends (MIP x MIP) for straightforward, secure threaded joins.
  • Material and finish: Solid steel with a black finish that resists corrosion in typical residential and light commercial piping applications.
  • Length: 3-1/2 inches, a practical size for tight spaces where longer nipples won’t fit.
  • Temperature and pressure tolerance: Rated for up to 188 psi and 400 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for hot-water lines and other common piping tasks.
  • Lead-free: A lead-free option aligned with standard plumbing safety expectations.
  • Packaging: Sold bagged for easy handling and inventory management.

Where to use: This nipple is ideal for residential plumbing projects that require connecting two female 1/4 in. MIP fittings in water supply lines, appliance hookups, small-diameter piping on heating systems, or tight spaces where a compact connector is needed. The black steel construction provides dependable strength for everyday use and serviceability in protected environments.

  • Connecting two female 1/4 in. MIP fittings in water supply lines
  • Extending small-diameter piping in appliances or heating systems
  • Repairing or modifying existing runs where space constraints limit longer nipples

Why this STZ nipple stands out: The combination of precise 1/4 in. MIP threads, durable black steel finish, and a practical 3-1/2 in. length delivers dependable performance in real-world installations. Lead-free construction adds peace of mind for potable-water applications, while the bagged packaging keeps parts organized for quick replacements on job sites.

Pro tips for best results

  • Clean threads before installation and use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for MIP connections.
  • Hand-tighten fully, then snug with a wrench—avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage or leaks.
  • Ensure compatibility with adjacent metals to minimize galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal systems.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
