Value Collection 587-055XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 587-055XSBC is a Schedule 80 seamless black pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems where added wall thickness and pressure resistance are required. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, this nipple connects sections of pipe or pipe to fittings in gas, steam, water, and industrial fluid systems. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under elevated pressure or temperature. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as part of larger threaded assemblies in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and HVAC piping applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Its black finish is standard for gas service lines and non-potable water systems. The 1.5-inch diameter makes it compatible with common threaded fittings and valves used throughout mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility piping runs.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless construction reduces stress concentration at weld points
• 1.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• 5.5-inch length suits close-quarter connections and offset runs
• Black finish standard for gas and non-potable piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for threaded 1.5-inch nominal pipe systems using standard NPT connections in Schedule 80 configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
