Aqualine GPN-10-60 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1x6 Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-10-60 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 6 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and exposed installations. This nipple is a short threaded fitting used to connect two female-threaded ports or to extend a piping run. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these fittings in potable water supply, irrigation, gas distribution, and industrial process piping systems where a durable, threaded steel connection is required.

The GPN-10-60 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping installations. It fits wherever a 1-inch nominal threaded connection is needed, including supply risers, manifold assemblies, and equipment connections. Its 6-inch length makes it a practical spacer or offset fitting in tight mechanical rooms and utility spaces. Pool and spa mechanical systems also commonly use galvanized nipples at pump and filter headers.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications
• Hot-dip galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• 1-inch nominal diameter with NPT threads on both ends
• 6-inch body length for offset and extension connections
• Weighs 0.73 pounds — lightweight for handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading in the nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjacent fitting to avoid stressing upstream connections.
