Value Collection 03R1203600RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R1203600RTTM is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, this nipple provides a close-coupled threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The black finish coating is standard for low-pressure steam, gas, and water service applications. At 8.9 pounds, the heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness gives this nipple greater pressure capacity and mechanical durability compared to Schedule 40 pipe of the same diameter. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a 36-inch threaded section is required between two connections. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam distribution piping, hydronic heating systems, and general-purpose water service. The Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it a preferred choice in higher-pressure or higher-stress installations where a heavier wall is specified by code or engineering requirement. It is typically used in conjunction with black malleable iron or steel fittings and valves threaded to NPT standards.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating and mechanical strength over Schedule 40
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with NPT-compatible threaded ends
• 36 inch length suitable for longer span connections without additional couplings
• Black finish coating standard for gas, steam, and water service applications
• Heavier construction at 8.9 pounds supports demanding industrial and commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and flanges used in black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and IFGC requirements for gas piping where applicable. Shut off all gas or water supply and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use nipples with stripped, crossed, or corroded threads.
