Value Collection B10408 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B10408 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 8 inches in length with a 1-inch pipe size, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards using a welded construction method. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a connecting length between threaded pipe components such as valves, couplings, unions, and tees.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe is specified. Common applications include domestic water distribution, steam and condensate systems, fire suppression supply lines, and HVAC hydronic piping. The 1-inch diameter and 8-inch body length make it a practical close-connection piece in tight runs where a pre-cut, pre-threaded nipple is preferred over field-cut pipe. This item is sold in a package quantity of 2.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
