Value Collection NB07035 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB07035 is a black steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. It carries a black finish coating and is threaded to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards, making it suitable for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this type of nipple to extend, connect, or transition threaded pipe runs in both residential and light commercial installations.

This nipple is used in low-pressure water, gas, and steam piping systems where Schedule 40 steel is the specified wall grade. Typical applications include supply line extensions, header connections, and close-nipple configurations in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility spaces. The black finish is standard for gas piping in many jurisdictions and distinguishes these fittings from galvanized water-service pipe.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded systems
• Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 for reliable sealed connections
• Black finish coating — standard for gas piping applications
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical and utility environments
• 1-1/4 inch thread size matches standard NPT fittings and valves
• Compact 3-1/2 inch length suits tight-clearance pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 black steel threaded pipe nipple compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT fittings, couplings, valves, and threaded pipe sections used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Apply appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe-thread compound to all threaded joints before assembly. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before cutting into or modifying any existing pipe run. Do not use black steel pipe in systems requiring galvanized or corrosion-resistant fittings.
