Value Collection BD--13678-1 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--13678-1 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial fluid handling applications. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 7 inches in length, this nipple features welded construction and standard NPT threading on both ends. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of fitting during new construction, repair, and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 1-inch threaded connection and a 7-inch extension are required. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution headers, and mechanical room piping assemblies. The black steel material is standard for natural gas and propane distribution where galvanized fittings are not permitted by local code. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 1-inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe couplings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure tolerance over Schedule 40
• Welded construction for consistent wall integrity along the body
• 1-inch NPT thread size compatible with standard threaded fittings and valves
• 7-inch length provides clearance and offset in tight piping layouts
• Black steel material suitable for gas distribution piping per common code requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, couplings, valves, and tees used in black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the system before threading or removing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
