Value Collection 0314110 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0314110 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe fittings in plumbing, HVAC piping, gas distribution, and industrial fluid systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 11 inches in length, it features NPT threads on both ends for standard pipe assembly. The black finish coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for non-potable applications. At 3.18 pounds, the heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction gives it greater pressure capacity and durability compared to Schedule 40, making it a preferred choice in higher-pressure or mechanical room installations.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, steam, gas, and hydronic heating systems where Schedule 80 black iron is specified. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in boiler rooms, mechanical spaces, and utility piping runs. The 11-inch length fills gaps between fittings, valves, or equipment connections where close or short nipples are not practical.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Plumbing Code and International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or compromise the thread seal.
