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

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-50-50 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 5 inches in length. It is used to connect threaded pipe sections in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a close fitting between valves, fittings, and threaded pipe runs. At 0.31 pounds, it is a lightweight, standard-stock component kept on most service trucks and in shop inventory.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications where a 0.5-inch threaded connection is required. Typical uses include water distribution headers, boiler supply and return connections, irrigation manifolds, and compressed-air drops. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for domestic water and low-pressure gas service.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should install this nipple in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
