Value Collection 0310090 Black Pipe Nipple 1 in X 9 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0310090 is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter and 9 inches in length. It features NPT threads on both ends, allowing it to connect two female-threaded fittings or serve as an extension in a threaded piping run. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure-bearing capacity than Schedule 40, making this nipple appropriate for higher-demand installations. The black iron finish identifies it as a carbon steel fitting suitable for gas and steam service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of hardware.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short, rigid threaded connector is needed. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, compressed air distribution, and industrial fluid transport. The 9-inch length makes it well suited for close-clearance connections where a close or short nipple would be too short and a longer nipple would create unnecessary span. It is sold individually and is a standard stocking item for service vehicles and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into place. Do not over-tighten with a pipe wrench, as excessive force can crack fittings or distort threads.
