Value Collection 587-045XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 587-045XSBC is a Schedule 80 seamless black pipe nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length. Built with seamless construction, this nipple delivers greater wall thickness and pressure tolerance compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. It is used in threaded piping assemblies where higher pressure ratings or added mechanical strength are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, steam, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified by code or design.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping installations. The 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded connections, making it compatible with Schedule 80 fittings, valves, and couplings of the same size. Typical applications include close nipple runs in tight spaces, riser sections, and branch connections where a short rigid length is needed between two threaded components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure capacity than Schedule 40
• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams for improved structural integrity
• 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading
• 4-1/2 inches overall length suits short-run and tight-clearance applications
• Black steel finish compatible with gas, steam, compressed air, and industrial fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded black iron piping systems using 1-1/2-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
