Value Collection XNB05025 Black Pipe Nipple 3/4in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB05025 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems where pressure ratings and wall thickness matter. Built to Schedule 80 specifications, this nipple offers greater wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suited for higher-pressure applications. It measures 3/4 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, with seamless construction and NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1. The steel meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting in gas, steam, and water distribution systems.

This nipple is a standard close-to-long fitting used in residential and light commercial piping installations. Typical applications include gas line extensions, boiler piping, steam systems, and general industrial plumbing. The 3/4-inch thread size fits standard fittings, valves, and couplings in that nominal pipe size. Its black steel finish is appropriate for non-corrosive fluid and gas service where galvanizing is not required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless steel construction per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53
• NPT threads per ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for standard fitment
• Lead-free material compliant for potable and non-potable systems
• 3/4-inch nominal pipe size with 2-1/2-inch body length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for 3/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and steam applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before threading the nipple into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
