Cambridge Resources 507004 Galvanized Nipple 1/2x4.5 in

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 507004 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to connect or extend threaded pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping systems. The nipple measures 1/2 inch in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in moisture-prone environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of low-pressure pipe assemblies where a short, threaded male-to-male connector is required between fittings, valves, or fixtures.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial pipe installations where 1/2-inch threaded connections are called for. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and HVAC condensate or drain piping. It is sold as a single unit and is compatible with standard 1/2-inch NPT female fittings including couplings, elbows, tees, and valves.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 1/2-inch diameter with 4-1/2-inch body length
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch NPT threaded nipple suitable for use with any compatible 1/2-inch female NPT pipe fittings in plumbing, gas, or HVAC piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the jurisdiction. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before assembly. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
