Aqualine GPN-50-40 Galvanized Steel Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-50-40 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple sized at 0.5 inches nominal diameter by 4 inches in length. It serves as a short threaded pipe connector used to join sections of pipe, fittings, or equipment in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to wet and exposed environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in both residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, code-compliant threaded connection is required.

This nipple is used in potable water lines, irrigation systems, natural gas and propane supply runs, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid distribution. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical trade applications. It threads onto standard NPT fittings and valves, making it a versatile component in new construction and retrofit work alike.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed installations
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and light commercial service
• 0.5 inch nominal diameter with NPT threading for compatibility with standard fittings and valves
• 4 inch length suits close-quarter connections where a close nipple or hex nipple would be too short
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy handling and overhead installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using 0.5 inch nominal NPT connections in plumbing, gas, and fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable to the service. Shut off water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage thread engagement.
