Value Collection XNB01040 Black Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB01040 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is constructed from seamless steel with a black finish coating. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure tolerance compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it suitable for higher-demand applications. It meets ANSI B1.20.1 threading standards and is manufactured to ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 specifications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians handle installation in both residential and commercial settings.

This nipple is used in low- to medium-pressure threaded pipe systems where a short close-to-hand extension or connection between fittings is required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing tie-ins. The 1/8 inch size is frequently found at burner orifices, gauge ports, and instrument taps. The lead-free construction meets requirements for installations subject to potable water or health-code-sensitive environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over standard Schedule 40
• Seamless construction reduces potential weak points along the pipe body
• Black finish coating suitable for gas and steam service
• Lead-free material meets applicable health and safety standards
• NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for reliable sealed connections
• Meets ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, steam, and compressed air applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water or air system and relieve all pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
