Value Collection 0212070 Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in 7 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0212070 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close-tolerance connector between fittings, valves, and pipe runs where a short, rigid section is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including domestic water supply, gas distribution piping, steam systems, and general mechanical piping. It is commonly used in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. The threaded-both-ends design allows direct connection to standard NPT couplings, tees, elbows, and valves without additional preparation.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• 1-1/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for universal fitment to standard fittings
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor installations
• 7 inch length suits short extension runs and valve connections
• Compact single-piece design with no joints or welds in the body

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-service replacement or new-installation component compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before breaking any connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where applicable. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or distort threads.
