Value Collection 01L12360 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01L12360 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with welded construction. This nipple serves as a threaded extension fitting used to connect sections of pipe or to attach valves, fittings, and other inline components in low-pressure piping systems. The black finish results from an oil coating applied during manufacturing to resist oxidation during storage and installation. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple in gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating systems where Schedule 40 steel is the specified material.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and general industrial piping. The 36-inch length makes it appropriate for longer runs between fittings where a close or short nipple would not reach. Both ends are threaded to NPT standards, allowing direct connection to standard pipe fittings, valves, unions, and tees. It is not intended for potable water service in most jurisdictions without additional coating or lining.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Welded steel construction for consistent wall integrity along the full 36-inch length
• Black finish coating provides oxidation resistance during storage and installation
• 1-1/4 inch NPT thread size on both ends for connection to standard pipe fittings
• 36-inch body length accommodates longer span requirements without additional couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT connections in gas, steam, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service type. Shut off and verify isolation of the gas or fluid supply before any threaded pipe work begins. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
