Value Collection 02L14720 Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in 72 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02L14720 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 service, measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length. It is threaded on both ends to accept standard 1-1/2 inch fittings, making it a ready-to-install pipe extension for plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. At 27.2 pounds, this is a full-length nipple suited for runs requiring minimal field fabrication. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in both commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is used in water supply, steam, gas, and general-purpose plumbing systems where a pre-threaded, Schedule 40 steel pipe segment is needed. The 72 inch length covers long straight runs between fittings without requiring additional couplings. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, boiler rooms, and underground-to-above-grade transitions where galvanized steel is specified for corrosion resistance. It suits both new construction and retrofit work where standard NPT threading is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure plumbing and gas service
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with matching 1-1/2 inch NPT threads on both ends
• 72 inch length eliminates the need for additional couplings on long straight runs
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• Threaded-both-ends configuration installs directly into standard couplings, tees, and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch NPT fittings and couplings used in Schedule 40 steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service applies. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten fittings with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, and pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
