Value Collection XNB05045 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB05045 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in pressure piping systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required. Measuring 3/4 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from steel using seamless and welded construction methods. The black finish coating provides surface protection suited for above-ground and buried ferrous piping runs. It carries threaded ends sized at 3/4 inches conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems as a standard close or extension nipple between fittings, valves, and threaded components.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in steam, gas, water, and general industrial piping applications that demand Schedule 80 pipe wall thickness for higher pressure service. It performs in both residential and commercial settings wherever a short threaded connection is needed. The 3/4-inch thread size makes it a common replacement fitting in heating supply lines, boiler piping, and gas distribution manifolds. Fabricated to meet ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 specifications, it is appropriate for systems requiring certified carbon steel pipe material. The lead-free construction meets applicable plumbing code requirements for potable water service.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch Schedule 80 threaded steel piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system and verify zero pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to a proper engagement depth without overtightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not install a nipple with stripped or cross-threaded ends.
