Aqualine GPN-10-30 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-10-30 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 3 inches in length. It is a short threaded pipe fitting used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports in water supply, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for wet or exposed environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this type of fitting as part of both new construction and service work.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, water distribution headers, and pool or irrigation supply lines. The 1-inch by 3-inch dimension is a standard close-service length frequently needed when connecting pumps, valves, pressure gauges, and unions where a close nipple would not allow enough thread engagement or wrench clearance. It is sold in single-unit increments.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in water and HVAC piping
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor installations
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• 1-inch nominal diameter by 3-inch length — a common service size for pumps, headers, and valves
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds for easy handling and installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-service replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, pool, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to a secure, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack female fittings made of brass or plastic.
