Value Collection NB07060 Black Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB07060 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. The black finish is a standard mill coating appropriate for use in gas supply lines and non-potable water applications. At 1.05 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting suited for demanding installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas distribution systems where a short threaded extension or connection between two female-threaded fittings is required. The 6-inch length makes it suitable for close-coupled connections in tight rough-in situations. It threads directly into standard 1-1/4 inch NPT couplings, tees, elbows, valves, and other Schedule 40 fittings. ASTM material standards apply to the base steel stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded black steel piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of black steel pipe nipples in gas systems must comply with applicable IFGC and local gas codes and should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. Shut off the gas supply or water supply completely and verify zero pressure before threading any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the specific service medium before making up threads. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
