Value Collection MSCNG01045 Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG01045 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems. It measures 1/8 inch in pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, built to Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service. Welded steel construction with a hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both exposed and concealed installations. Male NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close extension between threaded components.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial applications where a short threaded extension is needed between valves, tees, elbows, or other fittings. Common uses include gas supply lines, water distribution runs, compressed-air branch lines, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant-side piping where galvanized steel is code-acceptable. The 1/8-inch size is frequently used for pilot gas lines, pressure gauge ports, and small-diameter branch takeoffs.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure threaded piping service
• Welded steel construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Male NPT threads on both ends for universal threaded fitting compatibility
• 1/8-inch pipe size suits small-diameter branch and instrument connections
• 4.5-inch length provides a practical close extension between threaded components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or extension nipple for Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using 1/8-inch MNPT fittings and components.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to seat threads without over-torquing, which can crack fittings or distort the nipple.
