Value Collection XNB08080 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08080 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping systems. It measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, with a seamless and welded construction that meets ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 material standards. Threaded ends conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for reliable, leak-resistant makeup with standard fittings and valves. This nipple is a common component in low-pressure steam, gas, air, and water distribution systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these as part of rough-in and retrofit piping work.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified for additional pressure capacity or mechanical strength. It fits standard 1-1/2 inch NPT fittings, couplings, valves, and tees. Typical applications include boiler supply and return piping, compressed air distribution, gas service connections, and hydronic heating systems where black steel is the required pipe material.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded construction per ASTM A53 and ASTM A106
• NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Lead-free construction suitable for applicable piping applications
• Black steel finish standard for gas, steam, and hydronic systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-1/2 inch NPT fittings, couplings, and valves in Schedule 80 black steel piping systems. Compatible with applications meeting ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASME B1.20.1 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off all pressure to the system and verify the line is depressurized before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape to NPT threads before makeup; do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. For gas service installations, follow IFGC requirements and conduct a pressure test after assembly.
