Value Collection XNB08040 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08040 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, piping, and fluid distribution systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from seamless or welded steel with a black finish coating. It meets ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, and ASTM A53 standards, making it suitable for pressure and temperature applications common in commercial and industrial piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, steam lines, hydronic heating distribution, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The 1-1/2-inch NPT thread size and Schedule 80 wall thickness make it appropriate for higher-pressure applications where standard Schedule 40 fittings are not adequate. It is commonly used in gas distribution, water supply, and industrial fluid handling runs where black steel pipe is specified.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded steel construction for consistent strength
• Black finish coating resists corrosion in typical piping environments
• Lead-free construction meets lead-free compliance requirements
• Meets ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, and ASTM A53 standards
• 1-1/2-inch NPT threads on both ends for standard pipe system integration

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this may damage fittings or compromise the seal.
