Edmund a Gray NIPGALRL12-4 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGALRL12-4 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 0.5 inches in diameter by 4 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other piping components in a run. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suited to water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install these as standard joining components in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This nipple is appropriate for use in threaded pipe assemblies where a short, rigid connection between fittings is required. Common applications include water supply lines, natural gas and propane distribution piping, compressed air systems, and general industrial fluid conveyance. The 0.5-inch nominal pipe size is among the most common diameters found in residential gas and water supply rough-in work.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and gas service environments
• 0.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves
• 4-inch length provides a fixed, rigid connection between threaded components
• Threaded on both ends for direct installation into standard pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-install nipple compatible with 0.5-inch threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where applicable. Shut off the water supply or gas service and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
