Value Collection NG07055 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG07055 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in nominal pipe size and 5-1/2 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to NPT standards per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. At 0.86 pounds, it is a solid, code-compliant fitting appropriate for general-purpose pipe runs where a close or short nipple does not provide sufficient extension between fittings.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations, including water supply lines, gas distribution, compressed air, and steam systems. It is commonly used to extend runs between threaded fittings, valves, and mechanical equipment connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during rough-in work and equipment hookups where a standard Schedule 40 wall thickness is required by code or system design.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 5-1/2 inch overall length
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping systems
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed conditions
• Meets multiple standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
