Value Collection XNB08090 Black Pipe Nipple 9 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB08090 is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple measuring 9 inches in length, designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction provides greater pressure resistance compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it suitable for higher-demand installations. Both ends are threaded for direct connection to pipe fittings, valves, or other nipples. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of nipple when assembling or extending black iron pipe runs.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial applications where black iron pipe is the specified material, including gas supply lines, steam systems, and general industrial fluid distribution. The 9-inch length makes it appropriate for close-clearance runs where a longer pipe section is not required. The black finish coating is standard for steel pipe nipples used in non-corrosive gas and steam service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40
• 9-inch length suits close-clearance and short-run pipe assemblies
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to standard fittings and valves
• Black finish coating standard for gas and steam service applications
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum quantity requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or extension nipple for black iron pipe systems using NPT-threaded fittings and valves in gas, steam, and general plumbing service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the fluid system completely before disassembling or extending any pipe run. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before making up threaded connections. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free joint.
