Value Collection XNB09055 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNB09055 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in high-pressure and industrial piping systems where durability and code compliance are required. Manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple measures 2 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, with a weight of 2.17 pounds. It is produced using seamless and welded construction from steel, providing consistent wall integrity throughout the fitting. Both ends are threaded to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, making it ready for direct installation into threaded pipe systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, steam, gas, and industrial fluid conveyance applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Its black finish indicates it is not galvanized and is commonly used in gas distribution lines and non-potable fluid systems. Compliance with ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards confirms material quality appropriate for pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and 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 fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
