Flanges for NPS 1 1/4 pipe

Flange dimensions are set by NPS and pressure class, not by schedule, so every flange below fits this pipe. The exception is the weld neck: its bore is machined to the pipe it is welded to, which for Schedule 5 means 1.530 in (38.9 mm). Order the flange to the schedule or the bores will not line up at the weld.

Fittings for NPS 1 1/4 pipe

ASME B16.9 dimensions come from NPS alone, so these figures hold for Schedule 5 exactly as they do for every other schedule in the size. Only the wall thickness has to be ordered to match.

Common questions

What is the inside diameter of NPS 1 1/4 schedule 5 pipe?

1.530 in (38.9 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 1.660 in (42.2 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.065 in (1.7 mm) wall takes 0.130 in off it — 0.065 in from each side — leaving that bore.

How much does NPS 1 1/4 schedule 5 pipe weigh?

1.11 lb/ft (1.65 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 1.90 lb/ft (2.83 kg/m), because the bore holds 0.096 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 1806 ft.

Does NPS 1 1/4 schedule 5 pipe use special flanges or fittings?

No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 1 1/4 hardware fits this pipe in any schedule. The one thing that does follow the schedule is the bore of a weld neck flange or a fitting end prep, which has to be 1.530 in (38.9 mm) to match.
