Value Collection 584-030S160BC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 584-030S160BC is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 160 wall thickness, which provides significantly greater pressure and impact resistance than standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 fittings. The black finish is a mill-applied iron oxide coating standard for carbon steel pipe used in gas, steam, and non-potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close coupling between fittings, valves, and threaded pipe runs.

This Schedule 160 nipple is suited for high-pressure or heavy-duty service conditions where standard-weight pipe is insufficient. Typical applications include compressed air lines, steam distribution, hydraulic systems, and industrial gas piping. The 3/4 inch size is one of the most common nominal pipe sizes found in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, and the 3 inch length fits close-nipple configurations where a short threaded extension is required between two fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service duty
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading
• 3 inch overall length suits close-coupling installations
• Black mill-finish coating standard for carbon steel pipe applications
• Compatible with NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 3/4 inch threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 160 wall thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the service medium. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any nipple in a live line.
