Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL12-5 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inches X 5 Inches

Product Description

The Edmund A. Gray NIPGAL12-5 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length. It is a short, threaded pipe fitting used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or other pipe components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on pipe nipples like this one every day to extend pipe runs, make offsets, and complete piping assemblies in a wide range of systems. This nipple is constructed from galvanized steel, which means the base steel has been coated with a layer of zinc. That zinc coating provides reliable corrosion resistance, making this fitting well suited for water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and general plumbing applications where moisture exposure is a concern. The 1/2 inch nominal pipe size is one of the most common sizes used in residential and light commercial plumbing, making this nipple a practical item to have on hand for service calls, new construction, and retrofit work. At 5 inches in length, this nipple falls into the close-to-long range, giving installers enough thread engagement on both ends while still providing a usable body for wrench clearance during installation. Both ends feature standard NPT tapered threads, which form a pressure-tight mechanical seal when used with pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape. Galvanized steel pipe nipples are compatible with galvanized pipe fittings, black iron fittings, and a variety of valves and mechanical equipment connections. This fitting meets the everyday demands of trade professionals working in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire suppression, compressed air lines, and industrial piping. The NIPGAL12-5 is a dependable, straightforward fitting that gets the job done in demanding environments.

• Galvanized steel construction provides zinc corrosion protection for water, gas, and general plumbing service
• 1/2 inches nominal pipe size with NPT tapered threads on both ends for a leak-resistant seal
