Value Collection NG04030 Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG04030 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch nominal pipe size and 3 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple features NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards. The hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when connecting valves, couplings, unions, and other threaded fittings in low- to medium-pressure piping runs.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and water supply piping where a 1/2 inch Schedule 40 threaded connection is required. The 3-inch close-coupled length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance situations where standard or long nipples would not fit. It is sold individually and must be ordered in multiples of 5 per minimum order requirement.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Meets ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASTM A733 material standards
• International standard compliance including BS 1387, BS EN 10241, DIN 2440, DIN 2982, DIN 2999, and ISO 7/1
• Lightweight at 0.18 pounds for easy handling in high-volume installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems operating within Schedule 40 pressure ratings in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's specified engagement depth. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
