Value Collection MSCNG01060 Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG01060 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. Measuring 1/8 inch nominal pipe size and 6 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe bodies. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in moderate-moisture environments. Construction is welded steel, offering the wall thickness and pressure rating expected of Schedule 40 fittings in small-diameter runs.

This nipple is suited for low-pressure gas, water, and air distribution lines where 1/8-inch NPT connections are required. Common install scenarios include pilot gas lines, instrument ports, pressure gauge connections, and branch takeoffs in residential and light commercial systems. The 6-inch length provides adequate reach for close-quarter connections where a standard hex nipple or close nipple would be insufficient.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in small-bore piping
• MNPT x MNPT connection on both ends for universal threaded fitment
• Welded steel body provides consistent dimensional tolerances
• 1/8-inch nominal pipe size suits instrument ports, gauge taps, and pilot lines
• 6-inch length accommodates offset or extended connection runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using 1/8-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. 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 assembly. Do not over-torque small-diameter nipples, as 1/8-inch fittings are susceptible to thread damage.
