Edmund a Gray NIPGAL112-612 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGAL112-612 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal diameter by 6-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on commercial and residential piping runs.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial applications where a close or short extension is needed between threaded fittings, unions, valves, or appliance connections. Typical use cases include water supply lines, natural gas and propane branch lines, steam systems, and general mechanical piping. The 1-1/2 inch nominal size is common in main distribution lines and equipment connections.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and gas service environments
• 1-1/2 inch nominal diameter fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• 6-1/2 inch length provides a reliable extension between threaded connection points
• Threaded on both ends per standard NPT specification for leak-resistant makeup

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or extension nipple for use with 1-1/2 inch threaded pipe fittings, valves, and equipment connections in residential and commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as doing so can crack fittings or distort threads.
