Value Collection 0310120 Black Pipe Nipple 1 in X 12 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0310120 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe fittings in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1 inch nominal diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple features NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 makes it suitable for higher-pressure applications compared to Schedule 40. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of nipple as a short pipe extension between fittings, valves, and equipment connections.

This black pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, natural gas and propane distribution lines, steam systems, and general industrial fluid handling. The black finish, as opposed to galvanized, makes it the standard choice for gas piping per most code requirements. It fits standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 12-inch length provides a straight pipe extension between fittings
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and steam piping applications
• Weighs approximately 2.08 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use component compatible with standard 1-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, couplings, valves, and equipment connections in Schedule 80 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to a secure fit using pipe wrenches. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or replacing any nipple in an active line. For gas piping applications, follow applicable local codes and IFGC requirements, and pressure-test the completed joint before returning the system to service.
