Value Collection MSCNG08001 Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG08001 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple used to create short threaded connections in piping systems. Manufactured from welded steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in pipe size and 1-3/4 inches in overall length, classifying it as a close-to-short nipple. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, it handles standard working pressures in water, gas, and air distribution lines. Both ends are threaded male NPT, making it a direct-connect fitting between two female-threaded ports or valves. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting in commercial and residential plumbing, HVAC piping, and general industrial pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating lines, compressed air supply runs, and similar Schedule 40 piping applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-exposed environments. The MNPT X MNPT thread configuration allows direct installation between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe couplings without additional adapters. It is a standard replacement or add-on fitting stocked by plumbing and mechanical contractors for routine maintenance and new construction work.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in water, gas, and air service
• Welded steel construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• MNPT X MNPT thread configuration on both ends for direct female-to-female port connections
• 1-3/4 inch overall length suits tight-clearance installations requiring a short run of pipe
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size fits standard Schedule 40 fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten using a pipe wrench; avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
