Value Collection NG04001 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG04001 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in pipe size and 1-1/8 inches in length, this short nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and is threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly install this fitting in water distribution, gas piping, and mechanical room assemblies where a close coupling between two threaded components is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping applications. Its 1/2 inch nominal pipe size makes it a common choice for water supply branch lines, pressure gauge connections, valve extensions, and other short-run threaded connections. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard service pressure ratings for both water and gas piping in typical building system applications. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.
