Coda Resources 507003 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1/2x4 in

Product Description

The CODA RESOURCES 507003 is a schedule 40 galvanized steel close nipple cut to 1/2 inch diameter by 4 inches in length, measured thread to thread. It is manufactured from hot-dip zinc-galvanized steel and carries NSF 61 certification, making it suitable for potable water service as well as air and general plumbing applications. The nipple meets ASTM and ASME standards and has been hydrostatically tested at the factory. Standard IPS external threads on both ends allow direct connection to any compatible threaded fitting, valve, or pipe. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in commercial and residential settings.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air distribution, and decorative pipe applications where code-compliant galvanized steel is required. Its NSF 61 and lead-free construction qualifies it for potable water lines where local codes accept galvanized steel. The 4-inch thread-to-thread length fills close-quarter runs where longer nipples would not fit. The hot-dip zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for full industrial-grade strength
• Hot-dip galvanized zinc coating for corrosion resistance
• NSF 61 certified and lead-free for potable water service
• Hydrostatically tested at the factory per ASTM and ASME requirements
• Standard IPS threads for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Suitable for water, air, and pipe decor applications within applicable code

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting compatible with standard IPS 1/2 inch threaded plumbing components including couplings, tees, elbows, and valves in schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded steel pipe nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water or air supply before threading the nipple into any fitting. Apply pipe thread sealant tape or paste to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as excessive force can crack cast fittings or strip threads.
