Measuring 0.25 inches in nominal pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness using welded steel construction with a hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. Both ends are threaded Male NPT (MNPT X MNPT), allowing direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe couplings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a short extension or close connector in threaded piping runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple suits residential and commercial plumbing installations, natural gas distribution lines, water supply piping, and HVAC hydronic systems where a short threaded section is needed between components. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exposed or mildly corrosive environments. It is commonly used in supply lines, manifold connections, and riser assemblies where Schedule 40 wall strength is required by code or specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for threaded steel pipe assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists corrosion in water and moderate-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT X MNPT ends connect directly to standard female NPT fittings without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5-inch length provides a short extension suitable for close-coupled connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1\/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 steel pipe and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint, and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench turns per pipe trade practice. Do not over-torque small-diameter steel nipples, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT X MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSCNG02045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694809121074,"sku":"MSCNG02045","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee752b6e5fe8a8a4a95bd83b0def4352.jpg?v=1788328586","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mscng02045-pipe-nipple-1-4-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
