Value Collection 587-001XSBC Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 587-001XSBC is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches in diameter and manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness. Schedule 80 pipe carries a heavier wall than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure and higher-stress plumbing and mechanical applications. Both ends are threaded for standard NPT connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple when connecting valves, fittings, or equipment in ferrous pipe systems. The black finish indicates uncoated carbon steel, suitable for gas, air, steam, and water service in appropriate system configurations.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air, and hydronic heating systems. It is installed wherever a short threaded male connection is needed between two fittings or at an equipment stub-out. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it a common choice in industrial settings or anywhere elevated pressure ratings or mechanical strength are required compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch pipe diameter with Schedule 80 heavy-wall construction
• NPT-threaded ends for standard pipe fitting connections
• Black carbon steel material suitable for gas, air, steam, and water service
• Heavier wall thickness provides increased pressure and mechanical strength versus Schedule 40
• Compact nipple form for close-coupled fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded ferrous pipe systems using Schedule 80 fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements for the intended service. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Do not overtighten connections; use a pipe wrench and back-wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
