Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL1-3 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 1 Inches X 3 Inches

Product Description

The Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL1-3 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe threaded on both ends. They are used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a straight run or in tight spaces where longer pipe sections will not fit. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, which means the steel has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect against rust and corrosion. That zinc coating makes it a reliable choice for water supply lines, gas lines, and general plumbing applications in both residential and commercial settings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors regularly use galvanized pipe nipples when assembling or repairing water distribution systems, compressed air lines, fire suppression systems, and hydronic heating systems. The 1 inch diameter size is a common nominal pipe size that matches standard NPT threaded fittings, couplings, elbows, tees, and valves found throughout the trade. The 3 inch length makes this a close nipple option suited for applications where minimal pipe extension is needed between two connection points. Galvanized steel offers strong pressure ratings and mechanical durability, making it suitable for both above-ground and certain below-grade installations depending on local code. The threaded ends conform to National Pipe Taper standards, ensuring a leak-resistant seal when used with appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape. This nipple is a workhorse component in plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial piping systems.

• 1 inch nominal diameter with 3 inch overall length for tight-space piping connections
• Galvanized steel construction provides zinc corrosion protection for water, gas, and air line applications
• NPT threaded on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings, valves, and couplings

Product Highlights

The Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL1-3 galvanized steel pipe nipple delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point for 1 inch plumbing and piping systems. Its standard NPT threading ensures broad compatibility with common trade fittings and valves.
