Value Collection 582-080XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 582-080XSBC is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, gas, steam, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, this close-tolerance nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or other threaded components. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction provides greater pressure-handling capability compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-demand applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of black iron piping assemblies in residential and commercial settings.

This nipple is commonly installed in natural gas distribution lines, propane systems, steam lines, and general-purpose industrial pipe runs where black steel construction is required. The 3/8 inch pipe size suits branch lines, appliance connections, and low-flow service points. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate where added mechanical strength or elevated pressure ratings are needed over standard Schedule 40 pipe. It is a standard component in gas-fired appliance rough-in work and utility piping where threaded steel is specified by code or design.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with 8 inch overall length
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded assembly
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and industrial service
• Lightweight at 0.49 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for use with 3/8 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in Schedule 80 black iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the water system before disassembling any existing connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack cast components downstream.
