Value Collection 585-030S160BC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 585-030S160BC is a black steel pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping systems where extra wall thickness is required. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, this Schedule 160 nipple provides significantly greater wall thickness than standard Schedule 40 or 80 fittings, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial piping applications. The black finish is standard for carbon steel pipe used in gas, steam, and fluid distribution systems. Threaded ends allow for direct connection to compatible fittings without additional modification. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems that require heavy-duty Schedule 160 wall thickness, including high-pressure steam lines, hydraulic systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications. The 1-inch diameter and 3-inch length make it a short close nipple suitable for tight-clearance installations where a standard hex nipple will not fit. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial process piping installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 wall thickness for high-pressure service
• 1 inch nominal pipe diameter with threaded ends
• 3 inch overall length for close-clearance installations
• Black steel construction for gas, steam, and fluid service
• Standard NPT threads for compatibility with threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 160 threaded piping systems using 1-inch nominal pipe size fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
