Value Collection S160NB05060 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 160

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S160NB05060 is a Schedule 160 black steel pipe nipple designed for high-pressure piping applications in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple features threaded ends for direct connection to standard pipe fittings. The heavy-wall Schedule 160 construction provides significantly greater pressure resistance than standard Schedule 40 nipples, making it appropriate for demanding fluid and gas distribution lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where system pressure ratings or local code requirements call for heavier pipe wall thickness.

This black pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 160 wall thickness is specified. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, steam systems, hydraulic piping, and other high-pressure fluid conveyance installations. The black steel finish is standard for natural gas and propane supply lines in many jurisdictions. At 3/4 inch nominal pipe size and 6 inches in length, this nipple fits a wide range of close-to-medium run connections in mechanical and plumbing rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service — gas, steam, or water — before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
