Value Collection MSCXNB06035 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCXNB06035 is a black steel pipe nipple used to join threaded pipe fittings in medium- and high-pressure plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1 inch in diameter and 3.5 inches in length, with Schedule 80 wall thickness for added strength in demanding applications. Seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing the risk of weak points under pressure. Both ends are threaded male NPT (MNPT x MNPT), allowing direct connection between female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of new construction, retrofit, or repair work across a wide range of piping systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications where Schedule 80 black steel is required. Common uses include natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial fluid transfer. The MNPT x MNPT threading makes it a straightforward close or short nipple drop-in for any standard NPT-threaded assembly. Its black steel finish indicates it has not been galvanized, making it appropriate for gas service where galvanized fittings are not permitted by code in certain jurisdictions.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 fittings
• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams for uniform strength throughout
• MNPT x MNPT threading on both ends for direct connection to female NPT fittings
• 1 inch diameter x 3.5 inch length for precise, short-run piping connections
• Black steel finish suitable for gas distribution where galvanized material is restricted

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for any Schedule 80 NPT-threaded black steel piping system requiring a 1 inch diameter short nipple.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and ASME B31 standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before hand-tightening and then wrench-tightening to a snug fit. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads on connected components.
