Value Collection 01L10180 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01L10180 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial fluid transport applications. Manufactured from welded Schedule 40 steel, this nipple measures 1 inch nominal pipe size with an 18-inch overall length. The black finish is standard for gas line applications and uncoated interior pipework. At 2.52 pounds, it suits both new construction and maintenance replacement work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This nipple fits into Schedule 40 threaded piping systems commonly found in residential and light commercial gas supply lines, hydronic heating loops, fire suppression branch lines, and general-purpose water and air distribution. The 1-inch nominal diameter and 18-inch length make it suitable for branch runs and drop connections where a close nipple or short nipple would not provide sufficient extension. Both ends carry standard 1-inch NPT threads for connection to fittings, valves, or pipe unions.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded piping systems
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Black finish suited for gas piping and interior mechanical applications
• 1-inch NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard fittings and valves
• 18-inch length accommodates branch drops and offset connections where shorter nipples fall short

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) for gas applications, and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for water systems. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Always shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as doing so can crack fittings or distort threads.
