Value Collection 587-050XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 587-050XSBC is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping systems. At 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, it delivers greater wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications. Both ends are threaded for standard NPT connections. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in a range of commercial and industrial settings where durability and pressure tolerance are required.

This pipe nipple is well suited for use in steam, water, gas, and air distribution systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Its 1-1/2 inch pipe size fits standard fittings, valves, and couplings used in commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, industrial process lines, and similar environments where a short close nipple or extension is needed between threaded components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe diameter with NPT threaded ends
• 5 inch overall length suitable for short extensions between fittings
• Black steel construction for use in non-potable water, gas, steam, and air applications
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 80 piping systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size fittings and components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
