Value Collection BDNA--13461-1 Black Pipe Nipple 3/4x7 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA--13461-1 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch diameter and 7 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. It features welded steel construction and male NPT threads on both ends, making it a standard close-coupling fitting used to connect threaded pipe sections in low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. The MNPT x MNPT thread configuration allows direct engagement with female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings. Plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work in residential and light commercial settings.

This nipple is suited for use in black iron piping systems commonly found in natural gas supply lines, steam heating systems, and water distribution where black steel pipe is specified. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for these applications. It is a common component in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility spaces where threaded black iron assemblies are used. Licensed plumbers and gasfitters are the primary trade installers in jurisdictions requiring permitted work on gas and steam systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Welded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity throughout the fitting
• MNPT x MNPT threading on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings
• 3/4 inch pipe size fits widely used residential and commercial pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded black steel pipe systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
