Value Collection BD--13688-8 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--13688-8 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where added wall thickness and durability are required. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, this nipple features welded construction and male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends. It is suited for plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and industrial fluid transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both commercial and industrial settings.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified by code or engineering requirements. The MNPT x MNPT connection on both ends allows straightforward integration into standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings. It is commonly used in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial process piping where pressure ratings exceed what Schedule 40 pipe can reliably handle.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40
• Welded construction for consistent wall integrity along the pipe body
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 10-inch body length
• MNPT x MNPT threading on both ends for compatibility with standard NPT fittings
• Black steel material suitable for gas, steam, and industrial fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple for use with 1-1/4 inch NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in threaded pipe assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten fittings using pipe wrenches sized for the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or cause joint failure.
