Midland Industries 56114 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 56114 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel welded pipe nipple used to connect threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. It features 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends and measures 11 inches in length. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments. Wall thickness is 0.133 inches, and the thread engagement length is 0.98 inches per end. This nipple is rated to 700 psi and is manufactured to ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards, making it a reliable component for pressure piping assemblies installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a short, threaded extension or connection between fittings is required. Common applications include water supply lines, gas piping, and industrial fluid transfer. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service within its rated temperature range of -150 to 200 degrees F. It is typically installed in conjunction with threaded couplings, tees, elbows, and valves in galvanized iron piping systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for Schedule 40 galvanized iron threaded piping systems using 1-inch nominal pipe size fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas applications. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
