Value Collection XNB08045 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08045 is a black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. At 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, it provides a short, rigid connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Constructed from seamless and welded steel per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53, it delivers the wall thickness and tensile strength needed for higher-pressure service conditions. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. The unit weighs 1.26 pounds and is lead-free, meeting common environmental compliance requirements for potable and non-potable systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial installations where Schedule 80 carbon steel is specified. Typical applications include steam lines, gas distribution piping, hydronic heating systems, and industrial fluid handling. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use short nipples like this to close-connect threaded components where spacing is tight or where a standard close nipple is too short. The 1-1/2 inch size is common in main branch connections, riser ties, and equipment supply and return ports.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded steel construction per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53
• Threads comply with ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for standard NPT fitment
• Lead-free construction for broad system compliance
• 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter, 4-1/2 inches length for precise close-quarter connections
• UNSPSC classified for procurement system integration (40175305)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in Schedule 80 steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded joints, as Schedule 80 fittings can still be damaged by improper installation technique.
