Value Collection NB05120 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 3/4x12 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB05120 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch nominal diameter and 12 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. The black steel construction makes it suitable for gas lines and general-purpose black iron piping applications where galvanized fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of close-tolerance nipple for reliable, leak-resistant threaded connections in both new installations and repair work.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial piping systems where 3/4 inch black iron pipe is specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam systems, fire suppression headers, and general industrial fluid transport. The 12-inch length suits medium-span runs between fittings or valves without requiring field cutting. It pairs with standard 3/4 inch NPT couplings, tees, elbows, and valves commonly found in trade supply.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in gas and fluid piping
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications for accurate thread engagement
• 3/4 inch nominal diameter x 12 inches length suits mid-span runs without field modification
• Black steel construction compatible with natural gas, propane, steam, and general fluid service
• ASTM-compliant material meets widely specified standards for pipe fittings in trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose fitting for 3/4 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements depending on the service type. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections; bring the joint to hand-tight and finish with a pipe wrench to the appropriate engagement depth without cracking fittings.
