Value Collection NG02080 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/4 in 8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG02080 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. Measuring 1/4 inch nominal pipe size and 8 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or pipe couplings. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. At 0.26 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable fitting suited for low- to medium-pressure service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of gas, water, and general fluid distribution systems.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a 1/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded connection is required. Common uses include gas supply drops, water distribution branch lines, compressed air lines, and other fluid transfer assemblies. The 8-inch length provides clearance between two threaded connection points, making it useful in tight runs where a close or short nipple would not span the required distance. It is sold individually and is ready to install without additional preparation.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure service
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to NPT fittings and valves
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid conditions
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits standard 1/4-inch NPT threaded components
• 8-inch length bridges connection points that require additional reach beyond a close nipple

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4-inch NPT Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without over-tightening, which can damage threads. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system completely before removing or replacing any threaded fitting.
