Edmund a Gray NIPGAL114-312 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGAL114-312 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches nominal pipe diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, repair, and retrofit work on both supply and distribution piping systems.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where a 1-1/4-inch threaded connection is required. The 3-1/2-inch length suits close-quarter runs where a longer nipple would create interference or where a close nipple does not provide enough thread engagement. It is commonly installed at water heaters, boilers, gas appliances, manifolds, and distribution headers where a short male-threaded extension is needed between components.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and gas service environments
• 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT external threads on both ends
• 3-1/2-inch overall length for short-run connections in tight spaces
• Compatible with standard 1-1/4-inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
