Value Collection NG07040 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4in X 4in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG07040 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in nominal pipe size and 4 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness from steel with a hot-dip galvanized coating, this nipple resists corrosion in exposed or wet environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as a standard close-coupling component between valves, unions, tees, and other threaded fittings.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, fire suppression, natural gas, steam, and air piping applications where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for water supply lines and outdoor or corrosion-prone environments. It threads directly into standard NPT female-threaded fittings and valves. It meets multiple domestic and international standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, BS 1387, BS EN 10241, DIN 2440, DIN 2982, DIN 2999, and ISO 7/1, making it compatible with a broad range of specification-driven projects.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in threaded steel piping systems
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• NPT threads on both ends conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for leak-free makeup
• Meets ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASTM A733 material and dimensional standards
• Recognized under multiple international standards including BS, DIN, and ISO designations
• Weighs 0.62 pounds for easy single-hand installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 NPT threaded nipple for use with 1-1/4 inch female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings in steel threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male threads. Shut off and depressurize the line and drain standing water before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. Gas line work must comply with IFGC requirements and is subject to inspection in most jurisdictions.
