Edmund a Gray NIPGAL114-512 Pipe Nipple 1-1/4x5-1/2 in

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGAL114-512 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches nominal diameter by 5-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The hot-dip or mill galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples in gas, water, and hydronic distribution systems where a close or close-to-standard extension between fittings is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, potable water distribution, hydronic heating loops, and general-purpose pipe runs where a threaded steel fitting is called for. The 1-1/4-inch nominal size fits standard NPT female connections at that diameter, making it a routine replacement or new-construction component in both above-ground and exposed indoor installations.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and moderate outdoor environments
• 1-1/4-inch nominal NPT thread on both ends for standard female-fitting connections
• 5-1/2-inch body length provides a mid-range extension between fittings
• External threads on both ends — no additional threading required at installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten; use appropriate pipe wrenches and follow code-required pressure testing after assembly.
