Value Collection XNB09030 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB09030 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Manufactured from steel to ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 standards, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length with Schedule 80 wall thickness, providing increased pressure capacity over standard Schedule 40 pipe. The seamless and welded construction delivers consistent wall integrity across the fitting. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas distribution, steam, water, and general-purpose piping systems where a short threaded connection is required between fittings or components.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping applications requiring a close or short run between threaded fittings. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines compared to lighter schedules. The 2-inch NPT thread conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT-threaded valves, couplings, and fittings. Typical installation scenarios include gas line assemblies, boiler connections, and industrial fluid distribution where black steel pipe is the specified material.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service versus Schedule 40
• Seamless and welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity
• 2-inch NPT threads conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Meets ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 material standards
• Lead-free construction suitable for applicable code requirements
• Black finish standard for steel pipe applications

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Isolate and depressurize the line and allow it to cool before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
