Value Collection NB06080 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB06080 is a black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and general-purpose piping systems. It measures 1 inch in pipe size and 8 inches in length, with a Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications. The black finish is applied at the mill and is typical for gas distribution and industrial piping. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring reliable engagement with standard NPT fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of nipple in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for use in black iron gas piping systems, steam lines, and water distribution runs where Schedule 40 wall strength is required. It is commonly installed at appliance connections, between fittings, or as a close-to-long extension in gas manifold and supply line assemblies. The 1-inch diameter is a standard size used throughout residential gas service and commercial plumbing rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters depending on the application and local code requirements. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system and relieve pressure before threading or unthreading any connections. Use a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium. All gas piping installations must comply with IFGC and applicable local codes.
