Value Collection XNB07050 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07050 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used in threaded piping systems across plumbing, industrial, and mechanical applications. At 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, this nipple connects sections of threaded pipe or joins pipe to fittings in moderate- to high-pressure systems. The seamless and welded construction meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards, making it suitable for pressure and temperature service. A black finish is standard for this type of carbon steel nipple. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers on commercial and residential jobs.

This pipe nipple is used in water, gas, and steam distribution lines where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for added pressure capacity. It fits standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded connections per ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1. Typical install scenarios include mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, industrial process piping, and fire suppression rough-in work where heavier wall pipe is specified by code or engineering design.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 80 carbon steel pipe nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
