Value Collection XNB07090 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB07090 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches diameter and 9 inches in length, with threaded ends on both sides. Built to handle higher-pressure and higher-temperature service than Schedule 40, this nipple is a standard fitting used to connect sections of pipe in gas, steam, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems. The seamless or welded construction meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards, and the NPT threads conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for Schedule 80 nipples where extra wall thickness and pressure capacity are required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications including natural gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, compressed air distribution, and industrial process piping. The 1-1/4-inch nominal size fits standard Schedule 80 fittings, valves, and couplings used in those systems. The black steel finish is appropriate for gas and steam service where galvanized coatings are not required or are prohibited by code. This is a single-piece unit sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for Schedule 80 black steel piping systems using 1-1/4-inch nominal NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IFGC, IPC, or ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium — confirm compatibility with gas service before use on gas lines. Inspect threads for damage before makeup and do not overtighten, as excess force can crack fittings or damage threads.
