Value Collection NB06120 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB06120 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 1 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends per ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, allowing direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves. The steel construction provides durability under pressure and is well suited for steam, air, water, and gas service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of threaded pipe runs in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is a standard component in residential and commercial gas supply lines, hydronic heating systems, compressed air distribution, and general industrial piping. It connects threaded fittings, valves, couplings, and pipe unions in systems that require rigid, metal pipe assemblies. The 12-inch length makes it suitable for spanning moderate gaps between fittings without the need for a full pipe section and additional union or coupling.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard service pressures
• Threaded on both ends per ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for reliable NPT connections
• Steel construction suitable for gas, steam, air, and water piping
• 1 inch pipe size with 1 inch thread size for compatibility with standard fittings
• 12 inch length provides flexibility in routing threaded pipe assemblies
• Meets ASTM material standards for steel pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for 1 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 steel pipe, compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, couplings, and unions that conform to ANSI and ASME B1.20.1 thread standards.

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 where gas service is involved. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
