Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL12-3 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inches X 3 Inches

Product Description

The Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL12-3 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length. It is a short threaded pipe fitting used to connect two female-threaded pipes, valves, or fittings in a plumbing or mechanical system. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on pipe nipples like this one to extend runs, make offsets, or complete threaded connections in water supply, gas, and steam piping systems. The galvanized zinc coating on the exterior and interior surfaces provides a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, making this nipple well suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture exposure is a concern. Galvanized pipe nipples are a standard choice in commercial and residential plumbing, irrigation systems, fire suppression lines, and low-pressure gas distribution. The 1/2 inch nominal pipe size is one of the most common pipe sizes used in residential water supply and light commercial plumbing work. At 3 inches in length, this nipple provides a short extension between fittings without requiring a full pipe section cut and threaded on site. The male NPT threads on both ends are cut to standard tapered thread specifications, ensuring a tight, leak-resistant seal when used with pipe thread compound or PTFE tape. This fitting is built from welded or seamless steel stock, giving it the structural integrity to handle the pressure and temperature demands typical of water and gas piping applications. Tradespeople who stock pipe nipples for service work and new construction will find this 1/2 inch by 3 inch galvanized nipple to be a reliable, code-compliant fitting for a wide range of threaded pipe installations.

• Galvanized steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Standard NPT male threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size by 3 inches in length fits common plumbing and gas piping layouts

Product Highlights

The Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL12-3 galvanized steel pipe nipple delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection in a compact 1/2 inch by 3 inch form factor. It is a practical, job-ready fitting for plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications.
