Value Collection 0314070 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0314070 is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length, this nipple carries a black finish coating standard for carbon steel pipe fittings. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it well suited for higher-pressure service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, retrofit, and repair work on gas, water, and steam distribution systems.

This pipe nipple fits into residential and commercial piping applications where a short threaded male connector is needed between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Typical uses include branch takeoffs, close connections between shutoff valves and appliances, and short runs through walls or panels. The 7-inch length provides enough clearance for installations where a close or shoulder nipple would be too short. It is appropriate for use in gas distribution, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general-purpose water piping where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with matching outside diameter
• 7-inch overall length suits installations requiring a short but clearance-providing run
• Black finish coating standard for carbon steel threaded pipe fittings
• Male NPT threads on both ends for connection to female-threaded fittings and equipment
• Weighs 1.97 pounds, consistent with Schedule 80 carbon steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch female NPT threaded connections on pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in Schedule 80 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to a proper engagement depth without over-torquing the joint. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use fittings with stripped or cross-threaded connections.
