Value Collection XNB06055 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB06055 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems that require a reliable threaded connection. Measuring 1 inch in nominal pipe size and 5.5 inches in length, this nipple is constructed from seamless and welded steel with a black finish coating. It meets ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, and ASTM A53 standards, making it suitable for applications where code compliance and material certification are required. The 1-inch NPT thread conforms to standard taper thread specifications for a secure, leak-resistant fit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems including gas distribution, steam, air, water, and hydraulic lines where Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity over Schedule 40. It is a standard close-to-medium length nipple that bridges two threaded fittings or connects a fitting to a valve, pump, or manifold. The black finish is typical for gas piping and non-corrosive fluid conveyance in dry or protected environments. The fitting is sold individually and is lead-free, meeting applicable requirements for potable water and gas service installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
