Value Collection XNB05055 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB05055 is a black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, designed for use in threaded piping assemblies across plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from steel using seamless and welded construction methods. It meets ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards as well as ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards. The lead-free designation makes it suitable for installations governed by lead-free compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This pipe nipple is intended for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a short threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common applications include gas distribution piping, steam lines, compressed air lines, and general fluid conveyance. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand mechanical installations. It ships individually and is stocked for single-unit purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this may damage the threads or fittings.
