Value Collection XNB08025 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08025 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple rated for demanding plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, it is manufactured from steel using seamless and welded construction to deliver consistent wall thickness and structural integrity under elevated pressure conditions. The black finish is applied at the mill and is standard for non-potable and gas-service piping systems. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for reliable connection to standard NPT fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Common applications include steam, gas, oil, and industrial fluid transfer lines. It is also used in mechanical rooms, boiler connections, and process piping where a close or short nipple is required to join threaded fittings with minimal spacing. The 1-1/2-inch thread size connects directly to standard NPT couplings, tees, elbows, and valves of the same pipe size.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded steel construction for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Mill-applied black finish standard for gas and non-potable piping service
• 1-1/2-inch NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Lead-free construction meeting material compliance requirements
• Meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 80 black steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a wrench-tight connection without over-torquing the fitting. Consult the applicable International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code requirements for the specific service type and jurisdiction before installation.
