Value Collection XNB08035 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1-1/2x3-1/2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08035 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from steel using seamless and welded construction methods. It is threaded on both ends per ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, making it ready for direct installation into threaded fittings and valves. The XNB08035 is lead-free and conforms to ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards, meeting the requirements commonly specified on commercial and industrial plumbing and piping projects.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating piping systems that require Schedule 80 wall thickness for added pressure capacity. It threads directly into standard NPT fittings, unions, valves, and manifolds. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically use this nipple when making close or short extensions between threaded components in black iron piping assemblies.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing pipe nipples. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using a pipe wrench to a secure, leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
