Cambridge Resources 506990 Galvanized Nipple 1-1/4x6

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 506990 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short lengths of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other pipe sections in a run. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. This fitting is sold as a single unit and is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on residential and light commercial piping systems.

This nipple is a standard close-pattern threaded fitting suited for use in potable water lines, hydronic heating systems, natural gas or propane distribution piping, and general-purpose fluid conveyance applications. The 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size and 6-inch body length make it a common replacement or extension fitting in both new construction and retrofit plumbing work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before disassembling any existing piping. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded joints, as this can damage fittings or crack mating components.
