Value Collection XNB01025 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB01025 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this nipple is constructed from seamless steel with a black finish coating. Its heavy wall Schedule 80 thickness provides greater pressure resistance than standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and piping applications. The lead-free construction meets current plumbing code requirements. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial settings.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial gas, water, and steam piping systems where a short threaded connection is required. The 1/8 inch pipe size fits into tight-clearance installations such as burner assemblies, pilot gas lines, pressure gauge ports, and compressed air manifolds. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring reliable engagement with compatible female-threaded fittings and valves. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians and plumbers during system assembly or repair where a close or short nipple is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up; do not use sealants inside the bore. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve proper thread engagement without over-torquing the fitting.
