Value Collection XNB07060 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/4x6 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07060 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from seamless steel to ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. The black finish indicates an untreated carbon steel surface suitable for gas lines, steam, and non-potable water applications where a galvanized coating is not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of distribution or supply piping assemblies in both residential and commercial construction.

This nipple is suited for use in natural gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air headers, and general industrial piping where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified for higher pressure ratings. The 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded ends conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards, making this fitting compatible with standard threaded fittings, valves, and couplings of the same nominal pipe size. It is appropriate wherever a close or short nipple of this diameter and length is called out on a mechanical drawing or in a pipe bill of materials.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless construction per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 for consistent wall integrity
• NPT threads machined to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards for reliable sealing
• Black finish carbon steel suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable water service
• Lead-free material designation supports compliance with applicable plumbing codes
• 1-1/4-inch nominal diameter x 6-inch length for close-quarters piping connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, couplings, unions, and valves conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards in Schedule 80 black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for the jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing any existing fitting or threading on the new nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; follow standard trade practice for NPT engagement to avoid thread damage or joint failure.
