Value Collection 588-001XSBC Black Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 588-001XSBC is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches and rated for Schedule 80 service. It is threaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or other piping components in gas, steam, or liquid systems. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness gives this nipple increased pressure capacity and durability compared to Schedule 40, making it a standard choice in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping assemblies where higher pressures or added wall strength are required.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air lines, and steam systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple when connecting threaded pipe runs to valves, unions, tees, or reducing fittings. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping installations where Schedule 80 material is specified by code or engineering design.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal pipe diameter, Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings
• Threaded on both ends for standard NPT connection to fittings and valves
• Black steel construction suited for gas, steam, and liquid service applications
• Lightweight at 0.84 pounds, easy to handle during install
• Sold individually, no multi-pack required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for standard 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 80 pipe and fittings.

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 where gas service is involved. Shut off gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
