Value Collection 583-240XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583-240XSBC is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used in gas, steam, and liquid piping systems requiring higher pressure ratings and thicker wall construction than standard Schedule 40 fittings. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 24 inches in length, this nipple features threaded ends for direct connection to compatible fittings, valves, and pipe sections. At 2.18 pounds, it is sized for typical residential and light commercial installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple when code or application demands the added wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution, steam lines, and general industrial fluid transfer. The 24-inch length makes it appropriate for spanning longer gaps between fittings without additional couplings. Threaded ends conform to standard NPT connection requirements, allowing integration into existing black iron pipe systems commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and gas supply rough-ins.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure capability compared to Schedule 40
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 24-inch overall length
• Threaded ends for NPT-compatible connection to fittings and valves
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and steam service
• Weighs 2.18 pounds for manageable single-technician handling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for black iron pipe systems using 1/2 inch NPT-threaded components in gas, steam, and liquid piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fitting for damage before assembly.
