Aqualine GPN-50-100 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-50-100 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 10 inches in length. It delivers a threaded, corrosion-resistant connection point for joining pipe sections in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized zinc coating protects the steel substrate against rust and oxidation, extending service life in wet or outdoor environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a standard extension between fittings, valves, and equipment in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for use in potable water supply lines, irrigation systems, natural gas and propane distribution, compressed air headers, and general industrial piping where threaded steel connections are specified. The 0.5-inch nominal diameter fits standard half-inch NPT fittings and valves. The 10-inch body length makes it a practical choice when a close or shoulder nipple falls short and a longer extension is needed between components.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for pressure-rated service in standard plumbing and gas piping applications
• Galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet, damp, and outdoor environments
• NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard half-inch threaded fittings and valves
• 10-inch body length provides a practical extension where shorter nipples are insufficient
• Weighs 0.66 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 0.5-inch NPT threaded plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC, IFGC, or local code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
