Value Collection 584-015S160BC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 584-015S160BC is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, this short nipple is manufactured to Schedule 160 wall thickness, which provides significantly greater pressure-bearing capacity than standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings. The black finish is a standard mill coating suitable for gas lines, steam systems, and general-purpose piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where high-pressure or high-temperature service conditions call for heavier wall pipe. Common applications include natural gas distribution, steam lines, hydraulic supply runs, and compressed-air systems. The 3/4 inch NPT thread size is one of the most common in trade work, making this nipple a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventory alike. It is installed using standard pipe wrenches and NPT-compatible fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for elevated pressure service beyond Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 ratings
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 1-1/2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance installations and close-coupled fittings
• Black mill finish compatible with gas, steam, and general-purpose piping applications
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds, practical for bulk stocking and field carry

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with 3/4 inch Schedule 160 black steel pipe systems and fittings using NPT thread form.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as Schedule 160 fittings are typically mated with heavy-wall couplings and valves that can crack if excessive force is applied.
