Value Collection 583-120XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583-120XSBC is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. It measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. The black finish coating is standard for gas distribution and industrial plumbing applications. At 1.09 pounds, this nipple is solid and sized for moderate-span connections where a close or short nipple would fall short. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and commercial systems.

This nipple suits applications in natural gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution, and industrial piping where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified for higher pressure or corrosion resistance. The 12-inch length makes it suitable for spanning short distances between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Schedule 80 designates a heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40, providing additional strength at rated pressures. This part is appropriate for use wherever black steel threaded pipe is called out on a specification or code drawing.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to standard Schedule 40
• Black finish coating standard for gas line and industrial piping applications
• NPT threaded both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• 12-inch length bridges moderate gaps between components without additional couplings
• 1.09-pound solid steel construction for durable, long-service installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 0.5-inch NPT threaded black steel piping systems, compatible with standard Schedule 80 threaded fittings, couplings, unions, and valves of the same pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or ASME B31 piping standards depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; follow fitting manufacturer torque guidelines and verify for leaks after pressurizing the system.
