Value Collection XNB08001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08001 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure and industrial piping systems where a short, threaded connection is needed. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length, this Schedule 80 nipple features a heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suited for systems that demand greater pressure capacity and mechanical strength. Constructed from seamless steel with a black finish coating, it threads onto standard NPT fittings and is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. At 0.45 pounds, it is a compact, rugged component for both new installations and repair work.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, steam, gas distribution, and industrial fluid transfer systems. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it a common choice in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and anywhere a close or short nipple is needed between fittings. The 1-1/2-inch NPT thread fits standard pipe fittings of the same size. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics installing black iron pipe systems will find this nipple appropriate for a wide range of service applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating over standard Schedule 40
• Seamless steel construction for consistent wall integrity throughout
• Black finish coating for corrosion resistance in typical service environments
• 1-1/2-inch NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards
• Lead-free material composition
• Compact 1-3/4-inch length suitable for close-coupled fitting connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 black steel pipe systems using 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any nipple or fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or distort threads.
