Cambridge Resources 507046 Galvanized Nipple 1x12

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 507046 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 12 inches in length. A pipe nipple is a short length of externally threaded pipe used to join fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. The galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists rust and corrosion in wet or exposed environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in water supply, gas distribution, and general piping systems where standard NPT threaded connections are required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications. It is commonly used to extend a pipe run, connect a valve to a fitting, or complete a close-coupled assembly where a full-length pipe section is not needed. The 1-inch nominal size matches standard schedule pipe and fittings in that diameter class. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed installations
• 1-inch nominal diameter for compatibility with standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings
• 12-inch length provides a fixed, ready-to-install pipe extension
• External NPT threads on both ends for standard make-up connections
• Sold as a single piece for straightforward job-site procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing or gas applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code as applicable. Shut off the water supply or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
