Value Collection 587-090XSBC Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 587-090XSBC is a Schedule 80 seamless black pipe nipple used in threaded piping systems for plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial fluid handling. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple provides a rigid, close-coupled connection between fittings, valves, and equipment. The seamless construction eliminates a longitudinal weld seam, which increases pressure integrity and makes it well suited for high-pressure or high-temperature service. The black iron finish indicates this nipple is not galvanized, making it compatible with natural gas and propane piping applications where galvanized coatings are not appropriate.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial installations wherever NPT threaded connections are required. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam and hot water heating systems, compressed air distribution, and industrial process piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting. It is sized at 1.5 inches nominal pipe size and cut to a 9-inch working length, making it suitable for short-run or close-nipple configurations in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless construction for consistent wall integrity without a weld seam
• Black iron finish compatible with natural gas and propane piping
• 1.5-inch nominal diameter fits standard NPT threaded fittings
• 9-inch length provides a usable extension between fittings and components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT threaded Schedule 80 black iron pipe nipple for use with compatible 1.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in gas, steam, water, and air piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as appropriate to the system type. Shut off the gas supply or depressurize the piping system completely before making any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, and always test for leaks after pressurizing the system.
