Value Collection XNB07001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07001 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is required. Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple provides greater pressure resistance than standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it suitable for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams along the body, reducing potential leak points. It measures 1-1/4 inches in nominal pipe size with a 1-5/8 inch overall length and is finished in black coating. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trades that install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating piping systems where NPT threaded connections are standard. Its short length makes it well suited for close-coupled connections between valves, fittings, and equipment where minimal offset is needed. The black finish and steel material are appropriate for gas lines, steam, and non-potable water service in accordance with applicable codes. It is lead-free, meeting requirements for installations subject to lead-free mandates.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless construction reduces the risk of seam-related failures
• Black coating finish suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic applications
• Lead-free material compliant with lead-free installation requirements
• NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards
• Meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards for steel pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 80 black steel fittings and pipe in plumbing, gas, and HVAC hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as applicable. Shut off all supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as excessive torque can crack fittings or damage threads.
