Value Collection 585-045XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 585-045XSBC is a Schedule 80 seamless black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, this nipple provides a short, rigid connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe runs. The seamless construction eliminates a weld seam, resulting in uniform wall thickness and greater pressure resistance compared to welded alternatives. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in gas, steam, water, and air distribution systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required by code or design.

This pipe nipple suits residential and commercial piping installations where a close or short nipple is needed to connect threaded components in tight spaces. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air headers, steam condensate systems, and hydronic heating distribution. The black finish is standard for gas service and non-corrosive interior environments. The 1-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same size.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• Seamless construction provides uniform wall thickness and improved strength
• 1 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 4.5 inch overall length suits close-quarter connections
• Black steel finish standard for gas piping and mechanical systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock nipple compatible with 1 inch NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 80 black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a proper engagement without over-torquing the fitting. Inspect all joints for leaks after restoring system pressure.
