Value Collection 583-360XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583-360XSBC is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 36 inches in length, this close-tolerance nipple provides a durable, pressure-rated connection between fittings, valves, and equipment. The Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it greater pressure capacity and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it well-suited for higher-demand applications. Both ends are threaded for standard NPT connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general industrial piping where a 1/2 inch threaded black steel nipple is required. The 36 inch length suits runs that require a longer rigid section between fittings without adding a union or coupling. It is commonly installed in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility gas lines where black steel pipe is the code-accepted material of choice.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating and mechanical strength
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 36 inch length suits longer straight runs between fittings
• Black steel construction rated for gas, steam, and liquid service
• Weighs 3.27 pounds for a solid, full-length steel build

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded black steel pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 80 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings or nipples. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as black steel threads can crack or deform fittings if excessive force is applied.
