Aqualine GPN-150-48 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-150-48 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length. It is used to extend or connect sections of threaded pipe in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple wherever a long-run threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. At 10.2 pounds, the GPN-150-48 is built for durable, long-term service in demanding trade environments.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool equipment plumbing, and industrial pipe runs where a 48-inch close-to-close threaded steel nipple is called for. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for cold and hot water supply lines as well as low-pressure gas piping. It is commonly used in mechanical rooms, utility areas, and outdoor installations where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure plumbing and gas applications
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 48-inch length suits long-run pipe connections without additional couplings
• 1.5-inch nominal diameter with NPT threads on both ends for standard fitting compatibility
• Heavy-duty build at 10.2 pounds for long-term service life

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple for use with 1.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or removing any pipe sections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT connections before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can damage threads and cause leaks.
