Value Collection 0310110 Black Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0310110 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter and 11 inches in length. It features NPT threads on both ends and is finished in black, which provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for dry or low-moisture environments. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 makes it appropriate for applications requiring higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this type of nipple for gas distribution lines, steam systems, and industrial piping assemblies.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping installations where a close or extension nipple is needed to connect fittings, valves, or equipment. The 11-inch length places it in the close-nipple to short-nipple range and is commonly used where a standard cut piece is not practical. It threads directly into standard NPT fittings and black iron pipe components used in natural gas, propane, steam, and air distribution systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• 1 inch nominal diameter with NPT threads on both ends
• 11 inches overall length for intermediate extension applications
• Black finish coating suitable for gas and steam piping environments
• Compatible with standard black iron NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 80 black iron piping systems using 1 inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack cast iron fittings or damage threads.
