Aqualine GPN-30-60 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-30-60 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in water supply, plumbing, and light industrial piping systems. It measures 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet and outdoor environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a close extension between fittings, valves, or threaded pipe ends. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and commercial applications. Both ends are threaded to NPT specifications for compatibility with standard fittings.

This pipe nipple is used in potable water distribution, irrigation, fire suppression, and general plumbing systems where a short threaded steel connection is required. It is equally suited for above-ground and in-wall installations. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for damp or corrosive environments where bare steel would degrade quickly. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component during new construction or repair work on threaded black or galvanized pipe systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• 3 inches diameter x 6 inches length for versatile short-run connections
• NPT-threaded both ends for direct connection to standard fittings and valves
• Suitable for water supply, irrigation, and light industrial piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit component for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized pipe systems using 3-inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply pipe thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections on galvanized fittings, as excessive force can crack cast fittings or strip threads.
