Value Collection BDNA-13483 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-13483 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is welded construction and features male NPT threads on both ends. It is used to connect sections of pipe or fittings in low- to medium-pressure systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in supply lines, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including gas piping, steam lines, and water distribution where black steel pipe is required. The MNPT x MNPT configuration allows direct threading into couplings, valves, tees, elbows, and other standard NPT fittings. Its 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size makes it a common choice for branch lines and main runs in small commercial and residential mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• 1-1/4-inch nominal diameter with 8-inch length for mid-span connections
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications
• Welded steel construction for consistent strength along the pipe body
• Male NPT threads on both ends for universal compatibility with standard fittings
• Black steel finish suitable for gas, steam, and non-potable water service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe connections in Schedule 40 black steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
