Value Collection BD-13233 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-13233 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in nominal pipe size and 4-1/2 inches in overall length. It features male NPT threads on both ends (MNPT x MNPT) and a welded construction. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a short-run threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. The 1-1/4-inch diameter is commonly found in main water supply lines, boiler connections, gas branch lines, and hydronic heating systems. The Schedule 40 wall rating meets standard pressure requirements for typical low-to-medium pressure service. The MNPT x MNPT configuration allows direct threaded engagement into female-threaded fittings or equipment ports without adapters.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded piping service
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in water and gas applications
• MNPT x MNPT ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings and valves
• Welded construction provides consistent wall integrity along the nipple body
• 1-1/4-inch nominal size fits common main-line and branch-line applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for 1-1/4-inch female NPT threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in Schedule 40 threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service (water, gas, or steam) to the male threads before engagement. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve proper thread engagement without over-torquing the fitting. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the service type.
