Value Collection MSCNG06020 Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG06020 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems where corrosion resistance and mechanical durability are required. Manufactured from welded steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this nipple measures 1 inch in pipe size and 2 inches in length, conforming to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards. Both ends are threaded male NPT (MNPT), allowing direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, couplings, and pipe sections. It is a standard close-to-short nipple used in gas, water, and general-purpose piping assemblies by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, gas distribution piping, and industrial process lines where 1-inch threaded connections are specified. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure ratings for potable water and low-pressure gas applications. Its galvanized coating makes it a practical choice in environments where bare steel would be subject to moisture-driven corrosion, including utility rooms, mechanical closets, and exposed indoor piping runs.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and humid environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for water and gas service
• MNPT x MNPT thread configuration on both ends for direct connection to female-threaded fittings
• 1-inch pipe size in a compact 2-inch length for tight-clearance installations
• Welded steel construction ensures consistent dimensional tolerances and thread integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
