Legend Valve 355-120e 1-1/4 in Close Sch 40 Black Nipple

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 355-120e is a close-pattern Schedule 40 black steel nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches. A close nipple is threaded end-to-end with no exposed center pipe, making it the shortest possible threaded connector in this size. It is used to join two female-threaded fittings with virtually no gap between them. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas distribution, steam, and water piping systems where compact connections are required and space between fittings is at a minimum.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and general industrial piping. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical service conditions. The black steel finish makes it a common choice for gas piping where a galvanized coating is not required or preferred by code.

Key Features

• Close pattern threading allows back-to-back fitting connections with no exposed pipe center
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard service pressure ratings
• 1-1/4 inch nominal size suits medium-diameter gas and steam runs
• Black steel construction compatible with gas, steam, and water piping applications
• Male NPT threads on both ends for connection to standard female-threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for use with Schedule 40 black steel pipe systems and standard NPT female-threaded fittings in residential and commercial piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the system before beginning any threaded connection work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up connections. Close nipples require careful alignment since there is no exposed pipe body to grip with a wrench once both ends are engaged.
