Value Collection 583-040XSBC Black Pipe Nipple 1/2x4 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583-040XSBC is a black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length. It is threaded on both ends, making it ready for direct installation between fittings, valves, or threaded pipe connections. Schedule 80 construction provides greater wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding mechanical, plumbing, and gas piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely use close and short nipples like this to connect threaded iron pipe systems in tight spaces.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where black iron pipe is specified, including natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, industrial fluid lines, and fire suppression risers. The 1/2 inch diameter and 4 inch body length make it a common choice for branch connections and short extensions in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 pipe
• Threaded on both ends for immediate connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• 1/2 inch pipe diameter suits common branch and service line sizes
• 4 inch body length works in confined spaces and close-quarter installations
• Black steel construction compatible with gas, steam, and industrial fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems using 1/2 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up connections. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not cross-thread. Pressure-test the assembled system before returning it to service.
