Aqualine GPN-50-48 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-50-48 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. The threaded ends allow direct connection to standard fittings without additional preparation. At 3.2 pounds, this full-length nipple is a reliable, code-compliant option for plumbing and mechanical contractors working on residential and light commercial installations.

This pipe nipple is suited for water supply lines, gas piping runs, and general mechanical applications where a longer threaded nipple is required between fittings or at equipment connections. The 48-inch length makes it appropriate for spanning distances that shorter close or shoulder nipples cannot cover, reducing the need for additional couplings in a straight run. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters as part of new construction or retrofit piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service applications
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in water and moisture-exposed environments
• 48-inch length reduces the need for intermediate couplings in long straight runs
• 0.5-inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 3.2-pound weight suitable for overhead and in-wall piping with proper support

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 0.5-inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 galvanized piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading this nipple into existing fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Pipe supports should be installed at intervals required by code to prevent sagging over the 48-inch span.
