It features 1\/4-18 male pipe threads (MPT) on both ends, a nominal diameter of 1\/4 inch, and an overall length of 4 inches. The heavier SCH 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for applications demanding greater pressure ratings and mechanical strength compared to standard SCH 40 fittings. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both interior and exposed installations. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on gas, water, and general fluid distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping installations where a short threaded extension or close connection between two female-threaded components is required. The 4-inch length makes it a standard close nipple choice for connecting valves, tees, elbows, and other fittings in tight spaces. Dimensional standards conform to ANSI B1.20.1, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT threaded fittings across major manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSCH 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure and mechanical strength requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPT thread form per ANSI B1.20.1 for consistent fit with standard threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale pipe thread (MPT) on both ends for straightforward inline connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.17 pounds, minimizing added load in tight piping assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1\/4 inch NPT female-threaded components in Schedule 80 galvanized steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque on small-diameter fittings can crack female-threaded components or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT x MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCH 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 58026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952843096370,"sku":"58026","price":24.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45dcf2adbbc3a460fad3b12a772f0e66.jpg?v=1791752769","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-58026-galvanized-pipe-nipple-1-4-in-mpt-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
