Edmund a Gray NIPGAL112-36 Pipe Nipple 1-1/2x36 in

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGAL112-36 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other pipe segments in a piping system. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of threaded galvanized pipe nipples in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire suppression, and mechanical piping systems where a 1-1/2-inch threaded connection is required. The 36-inch length suits longer runs where a standard close or short nipple would not reach, reducing the need for additional couplings. It is appropriate for above-ground and certain buried applications where galvanized pipe is code-accepted.

Key Features

• 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends
• 36-inch overall length for extended reach between fittings
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings
• Steel construction handles typical working pressures found in commercial and residential piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded galvanized steel pipe nipple for use with 1-1/2-inch schedule 40 fittings, valves, unions, and couplings in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure completely before threading this nipple into an active line. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
