Value Collection BD--13166-4 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--13166-4 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple rated Schedule 40, measuring 8 inches in length with a 1/8-inch pipe size. It features welded construction and male NPT threads on both ends, making it suitable for connecting fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components in low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or moderately harsh environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly specify this nipple when extending or completing threaded pipe runs.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general industrial applications where a short 1/8-inch threaded extension is needed between system components. The 8-inch length suits situations where a close or hex nipple would be too short but a full pipe section is unnecessary. Its MNPT x MNPT configuration allows direct thread engagement on both ends without adapters.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Welded construction provides consistent dimensional integrity
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in damp or outdoor-adjacent installations
• MNPT x MNPT ends thread directly into female NPT fittings and valves
• 1/8-inch pipe size suits small-diameter instrumentation, gas pilot lines, and low-flow service lines
• 8-inch length allows flexibility in spacing between threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement or extension nipple for 1/8-inch female NPT fittings in Schedule 40 plumbing, HVAC, and general piping systems.

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 system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with appropriate leverage for 1/8-inch fittings to avoid cracking adjacent fittings or valves.
