Copperfit PCGL1248 Galvanized Steel Pipe 0.5x48 in

Product Description

The COPPERFIT PCGL1248 is a galvanized steel pipe measuring 1/2 inch nominal diameter by 48 inches in length. Galvanized pipe is coated with a layer of zinc to resist corrosion, making it a reliable choice for water supply lines, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. The zinc coating protects the steel substrate from rust and oxidation in both exposed and concealed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of pipe in residential and light commercial systems where threaded steel pipe is specified.

This pipe is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. Its 1/2-inch nominal size is a common diameter for branch water supply lines and low-pressure gas piping runs. Installers working on retrofit projects or new rough-in work will find the 48-inch length useful for straight runs between fittings without additional field cutting in many applications.

Key Features

• Galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for extended service life
• 1/2-inch nominal diameter suits standard branch supply and gas piping
• 48-inch length reduces field cutting for typical straight runs
• Compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock galvanized pipe for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems using 1/2-inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Galvanized pipe installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before cutting or threading pipe. Use a pipe threader or die set to cut threads on field-trimmed sections, and apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not use galvanized pipe on systems where it is prohibited by local code, such as certain natural gas installations in some jurisdictions.
