Midland Industries 973670 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Assortment

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 973670 is an 11-piece single-run steel pipe nipple assortment sized for 1/2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends. Each nipple in the set is manufactured from galvanized steel to resist corrosion in wet or exposed installations. The wall thickness is 0.109 inches, conforming to Schedule 40 ratings and dimensioned to ANSI B1.20.1 standards. This assortment is rated to 700 psi and handles temperatures from -200 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it suitable for a range of general plumbing and gas distribution tasks. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use assortments like this to keep common nipple lengths on hand for quick repairs and new runs.

This assortment is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and utility gas line work where 1/2-inch Schedule 40 galvanized nipples are the specified fitting. The variety of lengths in a single-run set allows a technician to select the right close, short, or long nipple without separate orders. The 1/2-14 thread pitch is standard for North American pipe systems. The kit is compact enough to store in a service van parts tray or shop bin for day-to-day service calls.

Installation Notes

Galvanized pipe nipples are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint; do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not over-torque, which can crack fittings or damage female threads.
