Value Collection 03R0201800RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R0201800RTTM is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, this nipple provides a longer-reach threaded section for installations where standard close or short nipples fall short. The Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure service runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and commercial applications.

This nipple is used in gas supply lines, water distribution systems, compressed air lines, and steam piping where a 1/4-inch threaded connection is required over an extended span. The black steel construction suits applications where galvanized coatings are not required or where downstream components call for uncoated ferrous pipe. Typical install scenarios include branch connections, riser stubs, and equipment hookups in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 18-inch length accommodates longer-reach connections without additional fittings
• Black steel finish suitable for gas, air, and water service
• Weighs 0.77 pounds for straightforward handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/4-inch NPT piping systems using Schedule 80 ferrous pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing piping. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe thread tape to NPT threads before makeup. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as Schedule 80 fittings at small diameters can crack if torque is applied beyond hand-tight plus standard wrench turns.
