Aqualine GPN-50-24 Galvanized Steel Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-50-24 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 24 inches in length. It is used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in both exposed and concealed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of close or long nipple as part of standard threaded iron pipe assemblies in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. At 1.6 pounds, it is sized for straightforward one-hand handling during assembly.

This nipple is suited for use in potable water supply lines, natural gas and propane distribution piping, fire protection branch lines, and general mechanical room pipe work. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical building service applications. It is a common replacement or extension fitting when modifying or repairing existing threaded black or galvanized iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements when used in gas service.

Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly.
