Aqualine GPN-125-20 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1-1/4x2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-125-20 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple used to create short threaded connections in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems. It measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. This nipple is a standard close or short-run fitting that plumbers and pipefitters reach for when joining threaded iron or steel piping runs. It weighs 0.28 pounds, making it easy to handle during overhead or confined-space work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, fire protection rough-in, gas piping, and industrial pipe assemblies where a Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. It is commonly installed wherever a short threaded extension is needed between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inches nominal diameter with male NPT threads on both ends
• 2 inches overall length for short-run threaded connections
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for full-pressure service ratings
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• Lightweight at 0.28 pounds, suitable for overhead and confined-space installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple for use with 1-1/4 inch female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings in iron and steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the specific service. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads on mating components.
