Value Collection XNB07020 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/4x2 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07020 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Machined to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, giving it the pressure rating and wall strength required for demanding applications. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams along the body, reducing potential leak points in pressurized lines. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring consistent fit with standard NPT fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a close connector between valves, couplings, and other threaded components.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Common applications include gas distribution headers, steam lines, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating loops. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications per most local codes. At 0.43 pounds, it is easy to handle during overhead or tight-space installations. The lead-free designation makes it appropriate for potable water systems where local codes require lead-free components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Seamless construction reduces internal weld seam vulnerabilities
• NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards for steel pipe
• Lead-free designation supports potable water and code-compliant installations
• Black finish suitable for gas piping per common code requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use nipple for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 80 steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC, IFGC, or local mechanical codes. Shut off all gas, water, or air supply and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
