Value Collection XNB05030 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB05030 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and industrial piping applications. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, this nipple features seamless and welded construction from steel with a black finish coating. The 3/4 inch NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1, ensuring leak-free makeup when properly installed. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it a common choice where higher system pressures or mechanical strength are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems including water supply, gas distribution, steam, and compressed air lines. Its black finish makes it a standard choice for gas piping where codes permit black iron fittings. The lead-free material meets requirements for potable water applications where local codes allow threaded steel. It can be used in new construction or as a direct replacement in existing threaded systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off supply pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
