Value Collection NG01025 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG01025 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems requiring a short, rigid connection between fittings or components. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and threaded on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, this nipple provides a reliable mechanical and pressure-rated joint in a compact 2.5-inch length. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. At a nominal pipe size of 1/8 inch, this nipple is suited for low-volume fluid or gas conveyance lines where standard NPT threading is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This nipple fits standard 1/8-inch NPT threaded systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service lines. Its short 2.5-inch body suits close-quarter connections where space between fittings is limited. Typical uses include branch connections, instrument ports, and service line stubouts in both new construction and retrofit work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to fitting manufacturer torque guidelines using a pipe wrench. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
