Value Collection XNB07045 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07045 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems where a short threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 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. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for higher-pressure applications compared to standard Schedule 40 pipe nipples. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems for gas, steam, water, and industrial fluid distribution. Its 1-1/4-inch NPT thread size fits standard pipe fittings, couplings, and valves of the same nominal size. The Schedule 80 wall rating makes it a common choice in mechanical rooms, boiler piping, and other installations where additional wall strength is specified by design or code. Its lead-free construction supports compliance with applicable potable water regulations where required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded steel construction for consistent material integrity
• Black finish coating standard for gas and steam service identification
• 1-1/4-inch NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Lead-free material suitable for applicable regulated installations
• Meets ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-1/4-inch NPT pipe systems using Schedule 80 fittings, couplings, and valves in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IPC, IFGC, or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as Schedule 80 fittings can crack if cross-threaded or over-torqued. Inspect threads for damage before installation and confirm the system is rated for the intended service pressure and fluid type.
