Value Collection 01L14240 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01L14240 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, this welded-construction nipple provides a rigid, reliable section of pipe between two threaded fittings. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications and is applied over the steel during manufacturing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in both new construction and service work where a close or long nipple does not satisfy the required length.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including gas supply lines, water distribution, compressed air, and steam systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets code requirements. The 1-1/2-inch pipe size and 24-inch length make it a common choice for branch lines and riser sections. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings and valves of the same nominal pipe size.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-duty pressure applications
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Black finish suitable for gas piping per common code requirements
• 1-1/2-inch NPT thread size for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• 24-inch body length fills longer spans between fittings without additional couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using 1-1/2-inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not use black steel pipe nipples in applications requiring corrosion resistance, such as potable water systems in corrosive environments, without verifying local code acceptance.
