Msi Products Inc A287001218.0 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The MSI PRODUCTS INC A287001218.0 is a Schedule 40 hot-dip galvanized carbon steel pipe nipple threaded on both ends, measuring 3/4 inch by 18 inches. It is manufactured from ASTM A53 Grade B welded steel pipe and is designed to connect two female-threaded fittings to extend a piping run. Threads conform to ASME B1.20.1 standards, and the nipple also meets ASTM A733 for quality and performance consistency. Rated for 700 to 3000 psi depending on application, this nipple is built for demanding service environments where corrosion resistance and traceability are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where galvanized steel is specified. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution, compressed air, and general mechanical piping. The 3/4-inch nominal pipe size and 18-inch length make it a practical close extension fitting in tight or straight-run configurations. Full lot traceability is maintained, with material test reports available upon request, making it appropriate for projects requiring documented material certification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
