Value Collection XNB04090 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB04090 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used for connecting threaded pipe sections in gas, steam, and liquid piping systems. It measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 9 inches in length, with NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure handling capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it a dependable choice in industrial and commercial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers. The nipple is lead free and meets ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 material standards.

This black pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam lines, and HVAC piping where a short threaded male-to-male connection is required. The 9-inch length is a common close-coupled run between fittings such as elbows, tees, and unions. Schedule 80 wall construction is specified where higher working pressures or additional mechanical strength are needed compared to standard weight pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where required. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
