Value Collection NB08120 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1-1/2x12 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NB08120 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards with NPT threads on both ends. The black finish results from a mill-applied iron oxide coating that provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use Schedule 40 nipples like this for joining pipe runs, installing valves, and making up close-spaced fittings in both commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for use in low-pressure steam, water, gas, and air piping systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets system pressure requirements. It is a standard close-tolerance fitting for new construction and repair work in mechanical rooms, utility connections, and above-grade distribution piping. The 1-1/2-inch nominal size fits a wide range of threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings found in general plumbing and gas work.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings
• NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1
• Black steel construction meets ASTM material standards
• 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size with matching thread size
• Black mill finish provides basic surface protection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or extension nipple for 1-1/2-inch Schedule 40 black steel piping systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the service fluid. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before making up threaded joints. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
