Aqualine GPN-150-30 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-150-30 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches nominal diameter by 3 inches in length. Galvanized pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to wet or exposed service conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics use nipples like this to make close or short extensions between threaded components during new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general mechanical piping where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. Typical applications include water supply risers, boiler piping connections, gas line assemblies, and irrigation system header work. The 1.5-inch nominal size is a common dimension in branch and main distribution piping across these trades.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-service pressure applications
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• 1.5 inches nominal diameter x 3 inches length for close coupling between threaded fittings
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded pipe fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.55 pounds for easy handling and installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service nipple compatible with 1.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and tighten fittings using a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage fittings or crack cast components.
