Value Collection NG07020 Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG07020 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. This close-tolerance nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in nominal pipe size and 2 inches in overall length, conforming to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Both ends carry NPT threads machined to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters stock these nipples for gas, water, and steam distribution work where a reliable, code-conforming threaded connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial installations including domestic water supply lines, natural gas branch connections, steam distribution headers, and hydronic heating systems. The 1-1/4-inch size is commonly used in main distribution runs, boiler connections, and commercial gas manifold assemblies. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for typical building service applications. Plumbing and HVAC contractors use these nipples when extending, modifying, or repairing existing threaded iron pipe systems.

Key Features

• NPT threads on both ends machined to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for consistent fit with standard fittings
• Schedule 40 wall thickness suitable for standard-pressure water, gas, and steam service
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Complies with ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and multiple international standards including DIN 2440 and ISO 7/1
• Weighs 0.33 pounds, making it easy to handle and stage in quantity during rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe assemblies conforming to Schedule 40 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the service type. Always depressurize and drain the system before removing or adding threaded components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings. Verify that the galvanized material is approved for the intended fluid or gas service under local code before installation.
