Value Collection 0202044 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0202044 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/4 inch in pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple features NPT threads on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial work.

This nipple is used in situations requiring a short, rigid extension between two threaded fittings, valves, or other pipe components. The 1/4 inch size is common in low-flow water lines, compressed air distribution, and gas supply piping to appliances and equipment. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for these service types. It fits inline wherever a 1/4 inch threaded connection is needed in a close-coupled piping run.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Compact 4.5 inch length suited for close-coupled installations
• 1/4 inch pipe size fits common low-flow water, air, and gas line applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off water, gas, or air supply and relieve system pressure before working on any threaded connection. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Thread connections must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and, for gas service, IFGC requirements.
