Value Collection 584-240S160BC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 584-240S160BC is a black steel pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems requiring heavy-wall construction. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 24 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 160 wall thickness, making it well suited for demanding service conditions where standard schedules are insufficient. Both ends are threaded for straightforward connection to fittings, valves, or adjacent pipe sections. It weighs 3.9 pounds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in commercial and industrial piping assemblies across water, gas, steam, and process-fluid applications.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process piping, and fire suppression roughwork where heavier wall thickness is specified by code or engineering design. The Schedule 160 designation provides significantly greater wall thickness than Schedule 40 or Schedule 80, making it appropriate for elevated-pressure or corrosive-service installations. The black finish is typical for gas distribution and non-potable water applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 heavy wall construction for elevated-pressure service
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard threaded ends
• 24 inch overall length suits longer nipple runs without couplings
• Black finish suitable for gas and non-potable water piping
• Threaded both ends for compatibility with standard NPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 160 wall thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe-thread compound rated for the intended service fluid before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread engagement.
