Aqualine GPN-150-12 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-150-12 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches in diameter by 12 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in wet and exposed environments, making this nipple a reliable choice for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters use threaded nipples like this one to extend or connect pipe runs between fittings. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and light commercial work.

This nipple is suited for use in potable water supply lines, irrigation systems, compressed air distribution, and low-pressure gas piping where galvanized steel is the specified material. It installs between threaded fittings such as couplings, tees, elbows, and valves. The 12-inch length accommodates situations where a close or short nipple would fall short and a custom-cut pipe section is not practical. It is a common choice in residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure plumbing and gas applications
• Galvanized steel construction with zinc coating for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• 1.5-inch nominal diameter with 12-inch body length for versatile pipe run extensions
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings
• Weighs 2.55 pounds — a solid, full-steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1.5-inch NPT threaded plumbing and gas piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before threading into fittings, and tighten connections using a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or the mating fitting.
