Value Collection MSCNG01055 Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG01055 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems requiring a short, rigid connector between fittings or components. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1/8 inch in pipe size and 5-1/2 inches in length. It features male NPT threads on both ends for straightforward connection into standard female-threaded fittings. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate-duty environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in gas, water, and general-purpose piping assemblies across residential and light commercial applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in low-pressure water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing piping systems where a short threaded extension or connection is needed. The 1/8-inch pipe size makes it common in branch lines, instrumentation connections, pilot gas lines, and similar small-bore applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working to IPC or IFGC code requirements depending on the service. Welded steel construction ensures consistent wall integrity throughout the nipple body.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use galvanized pipe nipple compatible with 1/8-inch female NPT threaded fittings and valves in Schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Verify service rating and local code compliance before use in gas service.
