Value Collection NB07001 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB07001 is a close-pattern black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 1-5/8 inches in length. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring reliable engagement with standard NPT fittings. The close nipple configuration means the threaded ends meet with minimal or no unthreaded center section, making it well suited for tight-clearance connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies where a Schedule 40 black steel fitting is specified. The 1-1/4-inch pipe size is common in gas branch lines, boiler supply and return connections, and fire suppression system piping. Any application requiring a short, threaded steel connector between two fittings or valves is a typical use case.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Close nipple design minimizes installed length in tight spaces
• Threads meet ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and hydronic piping
• ASTM-referenced material standards

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to a snug fit using pipe wrenches. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
