Value Collection BD--13669-2 Black Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--13669-2 is a Schedule 80 welded black pipe nipple rated for demanding plumbing and piping applications. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple features male NPT threads on both ends (MNPT x MNPT), allowing direct connection into female-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it a reliable choice for higher-pressure service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas, steam, and liquid piping systems where code-compliant, durable black iron connections are required.

This black pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations. Common applications include natural gas and propane distribution lines, steam systems, water service connections, and industrial process piping. The MNPT x MNPT configuration makes it compatible with standard threaded fittings throughout a piping run. It is typically installed in close-nipple or extension configurations where a precise, rigid connection between threaded components is needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Welded construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• MNPT x MNPT threading for direct connection into standard female-threaded fittings
• 3/4 inch pipe size suits a wide range of residential and commercial supply lines
• 8-inch length provides adequate extension between fittings without requiring a union
• Black iron material is compatible with gas, steam, and non-potable water service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard Schedule 80 threaded black iron piping systems using 3/4 inch MNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten connections to the fitting manufacturer's recommended engagement depth. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before installing or removing any threaded nipple. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
