Value Collection S160NB05050 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S160NB05050 is a Schedule 160 black steel threaded pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch nominal diameter and 5 inches in length. Schedule 160 wall thickness is significantly heavier than standard Schedule 40 or 80, making this nipple appropriate for high-pressure piping systems where additional wall strength is required. The threading on both ends follows NPT standards, allowing direct connection to compatible fittings and valves. This nipple is used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty mechanical piping systems. It weighs approximately 0.96 pounds.

This nipple is suited for use in high-pressure black iron piping systems, including steam, gas distribution, and industrial fluid lines where Schedule 160 wall thickness is specified. The 3/4 inch nominal size is a common diameter in both commercial and industrial mechanical systems. Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters or plumbers following applicable code requirements such as IPC or IFGC for gas piping applications. The black steel construction is standard for gas and steam piping where corrosion protection will be applied externally as needed by the system design.

Key Features

• Schedule 160 heavy wall construction for high-pressure piping applications
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 5 inch usable length for close-quarter piping runs
• Black steel material standard for gas and steam line installations
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for Schedule 160 black iron piping systems using 3/4 inch NPT threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off all pressure to the line and verify the system is depressurized and drained before threading or removing any pipe components. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium — gas, steam, or fluid — before making threaded connections. Pipe wrenches are the standard tool for assembly; avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage threads.
