Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 56033 is a welded galvanized steel pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 service. It features 1/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends and measures 9 inches in length, making it well suited for close-quarter pipe extensions and branch connections in plumbing and gas distribution systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for wet or exposed installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
