Value Collection 0312064 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0312064 is a Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 6-1/2 inches in length, this nipple features threads on both ends for direct connection into standard NPT fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance and mechanical durability compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a short, rigid threaded connection is required between two fittings or at a valve or equipment port. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam distribution, compressed air, and general liquid service where black steel pipe is the specified or code-required material. The 1-1/4 inch pipe size is frequently used in branch and main distribution lines across a range of building types.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity versus Schedule 40
• Threaded on both ends for direct NPT connection
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe diameter

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as relevant to the service application. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
