Value Collection XNB02035 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB02035 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch nominal diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure service. It is constructed from seamless steel with a black finish coating and threaded on both ends to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting where a short, rigid threaded connection is required between valves, fittings, or equipment ports.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including gas lines, steam systems, compressed air headers, and hydraulic service lines where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. The 1/4 inch thread size makes it a common choice for gauge ports, instrument takeoffs, and low-flow branch connections. It meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards, confirming suitability for pressure-rated service. Installers working on black iron gas systems or steam distribution will find this nipple compatible with standard 1/4 inch NPT fittings throughout the assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench and backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings.
