Value Collection 583-100XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583-100XSBC is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to the heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80, which provides increased pressure capability and improved durability compared to Schedule 40 pipe. The black finish is standard for gas and steam applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of new construction or repair work in gas distribution, steam, and industrial fluid systems.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam distribution, and general-purpose industrial piping. The threaded ends follow standard NPT taper threading, allowing direct connection to standard pipe fittings, valves, and manifolds. The 10-inch length makes it useful for bridging moderate spacing between components without adding additional couplings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure tolerance versus Schedule 40
• Standard NPT threaded ends for direct connection to pipe fittings and valves
• Black finish suitable for gas and steam service
• 1/2 inch pipe diameter in a 10-inch length for moderate-reach connections
• Weighs 0.91 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 80 pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements, including IFGC for gas piping. Shut off and bleed all pressure from the line before threading or removing any fitting. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
