Value Collection NB08060 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB08060 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1.5 inches in nominal diameter and 6 inches in length, with NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. The black finish is a standard mill coating suited for non-corrosive indoor applications including gas lines, steam systems, and general water distribution. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple wherever a short threaded extension or coupling connection is required in black iron pipe assemblies.

This nipple is a standard component in residential and commercial piping applications. It is commonly used in natural gas and propane supply lines, steam heating systems, compressed air distribution, and general industrial fluid transfer. The 1.5-inch nominal size fits standard Schedule 40 fittings, couplings, valves, and tees across a wide range of system configurations. Its all-steel construction handles the pressures and temperatures typical of these service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard service pressures in black iron piping systems
• NPT threads comply with ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for consistent fit with standard fittings
• Black mill finish suitable for gas, steam, and non-corrosive fluid applications
• Steel construction provides durability in both residential and light commercial service
• 1.5-inch nominal size integrates directly with Schedule 40 fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1.5-inch Schedule 40 black iron threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread integrity.
