Value Collection XNB08060 Black Pipe Nipple 1-1/2x6 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08060 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple is constructed from seamless steel with a black finish coating. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction provides greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring reliable engagement with standard NPT fittings. This nipple is lead-free and meets ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 material standards.

This pipe nipple is a standard component in residential and commercial piping systems where threaded black steel pipe is specified. Typical applications include gas distribution piping, steam lines, and industrial fluid transfer systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple when extending or connecting threaded pipe runs, adapting to valves or fittings, or making short close-coupled connections between threaded components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure tolerance versus Schedule 40
• Seamless steel construction per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards
• Threads machined to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications
• Black finish coating standard for gas and steam piping applications
• Lead-free material composition
• 1-1/2 inches NPT thread size for compatibility with standard fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 80 black steel pipe systems using 1-1/2 inch NPT fittings and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and, where applicable, the gas supply is shut off before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
