Value Collection XNB06040 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB06040 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from seamless steel with a black finish coating. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction gives it greater pressure handling capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-demand service lines. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring consistent fit with standard NPT fittings. This nipple is lead free and meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a short threaded extension or close connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common applications include gas distribution lines, steam systems, water supply headers, and mechanical room piping. The black finish is standard for gas service applications and is compatible with standard black iron fittings and malleable iron components throughout a threaded piping system.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure and higher-stress applications
• Seamless steel construction meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards
• Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for standard NPT compatibility
• Lead free construction suitable for potable water and gas service
• Black finish coating standard for gas line and mechanical piping use
• Lightweight at 0.65 pounds for easy single-handed installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 80 black steel fittings, valves, and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before threading in or removing any nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
