Value Collection 0212034 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0212034 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, constructed to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Both ends carry NPT threads, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, couplings, or other threaded components. The hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC technicians frequently use nipples of this type in boiler and hydronic system piping.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial installations where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between two threaded fittings or equipment ports. Common applications include water supply lines, steam and condensate systems, gas piping headers, and boiler trim connections. The 1-1/4-inch pipe size is frequently encountered in main distribution lines and branch takeoffs in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in residential and commercial piping
• 1-1/4 inches pipe diameter with NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections
• 3-1/2 inches overall length provides a short, rigid close-nipple extension between fittings
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in water, steam, and gas service environments
• Ships as a single unit, suitable for individual repair or low-quantity service calls

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple compatible with 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to a wrench-tight fit. On gas piping, verify system integrity with a pressure test and leak-detection solution after installation before returning the system to service.
