Value Collection 585-025S160BC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 585-025S160BC is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding pressure applications. This close-coupled fitting measures 1 inch in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 160 wall thickness for significantly heavier service than standard Schedule 40 fittings. The black finish is a standard mill coating suitable for non-corrosive gas and water piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple to connect threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in industrial, commercial, and mechanical system piping runs.

This Schedule 160 nipple is suited for high-pressure piping systems where wall thickness and burst-pressure rating are critical factors. Typical applications include compressed gas lines, high-pressure steam headers, hydraulic transfer lines, and industrial process piping. The 1-inch diameter is a common size in mechanical room and equipment-connection applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on commercial or industrial systems requiring heavy-wall threaded fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 heavy wall construction for elevated pressure service
• 1 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading
• 2.5 inch overall length for compact threaded connections
• Black mill finish suitable for gas and non-corrosive liquid service
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for 1-inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 160 heavy-wall fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. De-pressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as Schedule 160 fittings are used in high-pressure systems where fitting integrity is critical.
