Value Collection 0310070 Black Pipe Nipple 1x7 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0310070 is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 7 inches in length, this nipple features NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 pipe, making it suitable for higher-demand applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas lines, steam systems, and water distribution runs where additional wall strength is required.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping installations where a 1-inch threaded connection point is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common applications include gas piping to HVAC equipment and water heaters, boiler system connections, compressed air distribution, and industrial process lines. The 7-inch length provides adequate reach for routing between close components without requiring additional couplings or fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating over standard Schedule 40
• Threaded on both ends for straightforward assembly with standard NPT fittings
• 1 inch pipe size with matching 1 inch outside diameter
• 7 inch overall length suits a range of close-quarter piping configurations
• Black steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and water piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems, including gas distribution, steam, and water service lines that specify Schedule 80 black steel pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation of black pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas line work. Always shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system before threading in or removing any nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
