Value Collection XNB01080 Black Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB01080 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple is constructed using seamless and welded methods, resulting in a part that meets demanding pressure and temperature requirements. The black iron finish is standard for gas and steam service applications. At 0.21 pounds, it is a compact fitting intended for close-quarters connections in tight piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1/8-inch threaded connections are required. Common uses include gas supply lines, steam systems, boiler piping, and compressed air distribution. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines. It is lead-free, supporting compliance requirements in potable water and fuel gas installations where lead-free fittings are mandated.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure service
• Seamless and welded construction per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards
• Lead-free material suitable for compliant installations
• ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 threaded ends for standard NPT fitment
• Black iron finish for gas, steam, and industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8-inch Schedule 80 black iron pipe systems, including gas, steam, and industrial compressed air piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections; follow standard trade practice for 1/8-inch NPT fittings to avoid cracking or distorting the fitting.
