Value Collection NG02001 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG02001 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for low-pressure fluid and gas piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. With a 1/4-inch pipe size and an overall length of 0.875 inches, this close-pattern nipple is threaded on both ends to NPT standards and manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, air, and mild-gas distribution lines. Plumbers and pipefitters use short nipples like this to connect fittings directly where minimal spacing is required.

This nipple is suited for threaded pipe assemblies in water supply lines, compressed air systems, gas distribution manifolds, and hydronic heating systems. Its compact length makes it a practical choice when connecting two threaded fittings back-to-back with limited clearance. It is commonly installed in both residential fixture rough-in work and light commercial mechanical rooms where 1/4-inch branch lines are required.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water and air service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for 1/4-inch pipe systems
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to NPT fittings
• Compact 0.875-inch length suits tight-clearance installations
• 1/4-inch pipe size fits standard 1/4-inch threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock component for standard 1/4-inch NPT threaded pipe assemblies in Schedule 40 plumbing and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads on small-diameter nipples.
