Value Collection XNBS11030 Black Pipe Nipple 3in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XNBS11030 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple used in threaded piping systems for gas, steam, and fluid distribution applications. Measuring 3 inches in nominal diameter and 3 inches in length, this close-to-standard nipple provides a short threaded section for connecting fittings, valves, and other pipe segments. Schedule 80 wall thickness offers greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand industrial and commercial piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in natural gas, compressed air, and hydronic heating systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications where a short threaded steel connector is required. The 3-inch nominal size fits standard pipe fittings, valves, and flanges of the same nominal diameter. Its black steel construction makes it commonly used in gas distribution and fire suppression piping where galvanized fittings are not specified. This item ships in a quantity of one.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code, depending on the service application. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading fittings together. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
