Aqualine GPN-10-36 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-10-36 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter by 36 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems. The zinc coating protects against rust in both wet and dry environments. This nipple serves as a threaded connector between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, code-acceptable threaded steel connection is required.

Schedule 40 galvanized nipples in this size range are commonly used in water distribution lines, gas piping rough-ins, fire suppression systems, and industrial plumbing assemblies. The 36-inch length suits long-span runs between fittings where cutting and threading field pipe is impractical or less efficient. This nipple is appropriate for both above-ground and certain below-grade installations depending on local code requirements and protective sleeving practices.

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 the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
