Value Collection 03R1001800RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R1001800RTTM is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure and industrial-grade piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in nominal pipe size and 18 inches in length, this nipple features welded construction and a black finish coating. It is a standard threaded fitting used to connect sections of pipe or to extend a run between fittings in gas, water, steam, and industrial fluid systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians also use black pipe nipples in gas supply line work.

This nipple is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for added pressure capacity or code compliance. Common install scenarios include gas piping to furnaces, boilers, and unit heaters, as well as industrial water and steam distribution headers. The 18-inch length makes it appropriate for longer offsets or risers where a standard close or short nipple would not reach.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Welded construction for consistent dimensional integrity along the full length
• Black finish coating suitable for gas and steam piping applications
• 1 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 18 inch length accommodates longer pipe runs and offsets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 1 inch Schedule 80 black steel piping systems using National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate to the service. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe joint compound rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
