Value Collection XNB02060 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB02060 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness, providing greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40. The seamless and welded construction meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards, and the threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications. The black finish is standard for gas and steam service applications. Weighing 0.28 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight installations requiring reliable, code-compliant connections.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial gas piping, steam lines, compressed air systems, and general industrial plumbing where Schedule 80 wall strength is required. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters assembling threaded black iron pipe systems. The 1/4-inch size is typical in branch lines, instrumentation connections, and low-flow service runs. Its lead-free construction makes it suitable for installations where lead-free compliance is required by local code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or fittings.
