Value Collection XNB08055 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08055 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, this Schedule 80 nipple provides increased wall thickness compared to Schedule 40, making it suited for higher-pressure applications. Constructed from steel using seamless and welded methods, it meets ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, and ASTM A53 standards. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in both commercial and residential settings.

This nipple is used in threaded pipe systems requiring a short close-to-standard length connection between fittings, valves, or equipment. The Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for steam, gas, compressed air, and water distribution lines where standard Schedule 40 wall thickness is insufficient. Its 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves of the same diameter. The lead-free construction meets requirements for potable and non-potable piping applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded steel construction conforming to ASTM A106 and ASTM A53
• Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Lead-free material suitable for a range of piping applications
• Black finish standard for gas and industrial pipe installations
• 1-1/2-inch NPT thread size on both ends

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded components. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the fitting type. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
