Value Collection XNB05015 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB05015 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness, providing greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40. Constructed from seamless steel with a black finish coating and 3/4-inch NPT threads on both ends, it meets ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards as well as ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where compact, high-integrity threaded connections are required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and general mechanical piping applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Its short close-nipple length makes it useful in tight spaces where a standard hex nipple would not fit. The lead-free construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems where local codes require lead-free components. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on ferrous threaded piping systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless steel construction for uniform wall integrity throughout the fitting
• Black finish coating standard for ferrous pipe and fitting assemblies
• Lead-free material compliant with applicable potable water regulations
• Meets ASTM A106, ASTM A53, ANSI B1.20.1, and ASME B1.20.1 standards
• 3/4-inch NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4-inch Schedule 80 threaded ferrous pipe systems in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve proper thread engagement without over-torquing the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe component.
