Value Collection 02L12720 Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in 72 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02L12720 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across residential and commercial installations. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in pipe size and 72 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple ships with threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or other threaded components. At 13.62 pounds, the unit is built for applications that require a long, heavy-duty run between connection points. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to wet or outdoor-exposed piping environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this part where a full-length pre-threaded nipple eliminates the need for field threading on site.

This nipple is commonly used in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets the pressure and structural requirements of the application. It is well-suited for both new construction and retrofit work in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and outdoor service runs. The 72-inch length makes it appropriate for longer straight runs between fittings without requiring additional couplings. A licensed plumber or pipefitter typically handles installation in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC depending on the fluid service.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor-exposed environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for residential and commercial piping
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• 72-inch length reduces the need for additional couplings on long straight runs
• 1-1/4 inch pipe size accommodates moderate-flow water and gas distribution applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code for the fluid service involved. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can damage fittings or the pipe threads.
