Value Collection XNB07055 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07055 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies where pressure and mechanical strength are priorities. Manufactured from steel to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length. It is produced seamless and welded, meeting ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, and ASTM A53 standards. The black finish is applied over bare steel and is common in gas distribution, compressed air, and industrial fluid piping systems. Lead-free construction makes it suitable for a broad range of regulated installations.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas supply lines, and industrial piping where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified for higher-pressure or higher-stress applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple to make up threaded connections between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. The 1-1/4-inch thread size suits distribution mains, branch takeoffs, and equipment connections in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for standard NPT fitment
• Seamless and welded construction for consistent wall integrity
• Lead-free designation supports compliance with applicable plumbing codes
• Black finish typical for gas and industrial piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for threaded Schedule 80 black steel pipe systems using 1-1/4-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up connections. Work must comply with the applicable edition of the International Fuel Gas Code, International Plumbing Code, or local mechanical code as required by the system type.
