Aqualine GPN-10-48 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-10-48 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 48 inches in length. It is used to create threaded connections between fittings, valves, and other piping components in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for both exposed and concealed installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as part of standard threaded piping assemblies in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

This nipple is suited for water supply lines, gas piping, irrigation headers, fire protection laterals, and general mechanical piping where a full-length threaded or plain-end nipple is required. The 48-inch length makes it appropriate for longer runs between fittings where cutting and threading additional pipe on site is not practical. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical chases, and equipment connections where galvanized steel is the specified material.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded piping systems
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water and general mechanical service
• 1-inch nominal diameter with 48-inch overall length suits longer piping runs
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves
• 6.5-pound unit weight indicates full Schedule 40 wall construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, and IFGC requirements where gas service applies. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or distort threads.
