Aqualine GPN-125-18 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1.25x18 in Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-125-18 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1.25 inches in diameter and 18 inches in length. Galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. The hot-dip galvanizing process coats the steel to extend service life in both exposed and concealed installations. At 3.2 pounds, this nipple is a standard close-coupled fitting used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors to connect threaded pipe assemblies in residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and industrial supply line applications where a Schedule 40 galvanized steel fitting is specified. It is commonly installed between threaded valves, unions, and fittings in water distribution and natural gas or propane supply lines. The 18-inch length accommodates offsets and connections that shorter nipple lengths cannot span, making it a practical choice in rough-in and rework scenarios.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure plumbing and gas piping service
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• 1.25-inch nominal diameter with 18-inch overall length for extended reach connections
• Threaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings
• Consistent galvanized coating for long-term durability in concealed and exposed installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting compatible with 1.25-inch NPT threaded plumbing and gas piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
