Value Collection XNB08030 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/2x3 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08030 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from seamless steel with a black finish coating. Its heavier wall thickness compared to Schedule 40 makes it well suited for applications where added strength and pressure resistance are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded piping assemblies in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and process piping runs. The part is lead free and conforms to multiple industry standards.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, steam, and gas piping systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Its 1-1/2 inch pipe size and NPT threading per ANSI B1.20.1 make it a standard component in close-coupled and short-run connections between valves, fittings, and equipment. Typical installations include boiler supply and return connections, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid transfer piping.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40
• Seamless steel construction for uniform wall integrity
• Black finish coating standard for carbon steel pipe service
• Lead free construction meets applicable plumbing code requirements
• NPT threads machined to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications
• Meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 80 carbon steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
