It is manufactured from welded steel with a hot-dip or mill galvanized finish that resists rust and corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. Both ends are threaded to MNPT (male national pipe taper) standards, allowing direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe segments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems where a short, rigid threaded extension is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, natural gas and propane distribution lines, compressed air systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications. The Schedule 40 wall rating provides adequate pressure capacity for standard service conditions in these settings. The galvanized finish makes it a common choice for exposed or damp locations where bare black steel would corrode. It is typically installed between threaded fittings, union connections, or valved assemblies to achieve required spacing or offset distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x MNPT threading on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded steel construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch nominal diameter fits the most common residential and commercial pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5.5 inch length suits close-quarter spacing and offset requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard MNPT x MNPT Schedule 40 galvanized nipple compatible with 1\/2 inch female NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe segments used in plumbing, gas, and general-purpose piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up connections, and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight without over-driving the threads. Confirm system pressure rating and service fluid compatibility with the galvanized finish before installation in specialty chemical or high-temperature applications.\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: 0.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 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\/2 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.8 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: MSCNG04055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694598914354,"sku":"MSCNG04055","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8fdbb9e401207e288b09ba816d392e91.jpg?v=1788326038","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mscng04055-galvanized-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
