Aqualine GPN-150-36 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1.5x36 Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-150-36 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches in diameter by 36 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides a zinc-coated surface that resists corrosion in wet and humid environments, making this nipple a reliable choice for water supply, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. At 7.6 pounds, it is a full-length nipple suited for applications requiring extended pipe runs between fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of component as part of threaded piping assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical systems where threaded galvanized pipe is specified. Its 36-inch length makes it appropriate for spanning longer distances between threaded fittings or reducing the number of couplings in a run. Typical installations include water distribution risers, gas supply lines, and exposed mechanical room piping where galvanized material is preferred over black iron or plastic alternatives.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness provides standard pressure rating for general plumbing and gas applications
• Hot-dip or mill galvanized coating resists corrosion and extends service life in wet environments
• 1.5-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with threaded fittings
• 36-inch length reduces the need for additional couplings in longer pipe runs
• Steel construction handles elevated temperatures and pressures found in mechanical system applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems with standard NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage threads or crack fittings in the assembly.
