Value Collection 02L14300 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02L14300 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial distribution systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT threads on both ends, this nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in pipe size and 30 inches in length. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. At 11.33 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting suited for permanent installations where long-term durability and leak-free threaded connections are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial applications including water supply lines, fire protection systems, gas distribution piping, and HVAC hydronic loops. The 30-inch length suits branch runs and riser sections where a close or short nipple would be inadequate. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common code requirements for standard-pressure water and gas service in most jurisdictions. It is appropriate for use wherever a 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded galvanized steel connection is called for on a project specification or replacement job.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and exposed piping environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and equipment
• 30-inch length suitable for branch runs and riser segments
• 1-1/2-inch pipe size for medium-flow distribution applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for any 1-1/2-inch NPT threaded galvanized steel piping system requiring a Schedule 40 nipple of 30-inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten galvanized fittings, as this can crack the zinc coating and compromise corrosion protection at the joint.
