Value Collection NB01120 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB01120 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, providing the strength needed for standard low-pressure applications. The black finish coating is applied over steel for corrosion resistance in dry or protected environments. Both ends are threaded to 1/8 inch NPT, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of gas supply lines, water distribution systems, and general-purpose piping runs.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where 1/8 inch threaded connections are required. Common applications include gas appliance connections, compressed air lines, and water supply branch runs. The 12 inch length makes it useful when a close or short nipple will not bridge the required gap between fittings. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for these typical service conditions.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty service pressure requirements
• 1/8 inch NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to standard fittings and valves
• 12 inch length provides clearance where shorter nipples are not practical
• Black finish coating applied over steel construction
• Weighs 0.25 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and industrial piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
