Value Collection 03R1204800RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R1204800RTTM is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length, built to Schedule 80 wall thickness. Welded construction gives this nipple consistent strength along its full length. The black finish coating provides standard corrosion resistance for interior piping applications. At 11.52 pounds, this is a substantial piece suited for systems carrying gas, steam, water, or compressed air where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a ready-to-thread extension between fittings or as a close connection in a piping assembly.

This nipple is a common component in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and industrial piping systems. Schedule 80 pipe nipples are specified when higher pressure ratings or extra wall thickness is required compared to Schedule 40. The 48-inch length makes it suitable for longer straight runs between fittings without the need for a field-cut pipe section. Black pipe nipples of this type are frequently found in gas supply lines, boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial process piping where threaded connections are the standard joining method.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40
• Welded construction provides uniform wall integrity along the full 48-inch length
• 1-1/4 inch pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves of the same nominal size
• Black finish coating standard for gas and steam piping applications
• 48-inch length allows longer straight runs without field cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and flanges in gas, steam, water, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), or local mechanical codes. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before assembly. Inspect threads on both the nipple and the receiving fitting before installation to ensure a proper seal.
