Aqualine GPN-10-C 1 Inch Close Sch 40 Galvanized Nipple

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-10-C is a 1-inch close Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, water supply, and light industrial applications. A close nipple provides the shortest possible threaded connection between two fittings, with threads running nearly the full length of the fitting and minimal exposed center stock. The hot-dip galvanized zinc coating resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments. At 0.15 pounds, this nipple is a standard-weight fitting suitable for professional installation in residential and commercial piping systems.

This fitting is commonly used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in residential and commercial water supply lines, irrigation systems, and general-purpose threaded pipe assemblies. Close nipples are a standard component wherever two female-threaded fittings or valves must be joined directly with minimal spacing. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets the pressure and mechanical requirements of typical potable water and low-pressure service piping configurations.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal pipe size with National Pipe Taper (NPT) threading on both ends
• Close configuration minimizes clearance between connected fittings
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting compatible with 1-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male threads. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Close nipples require two wrenches to tighten without stressing connected fittings. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for the intended service application.
