Value Collection NG04045 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG04045 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to NPT standards per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. At 0.3 pounds, it is a compact, easy-to-handle component suited for both new construction and repair work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in commercial and residential settings.

This nipple is appropriate for use in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and general-purpose piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness and NPT threading are specified. It is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in work, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial process piping where a short, rigid threaded connector is required. Its 4.5-inch length makes it well suited for close-proximity connections where a longer nipple would be impractical.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 1/2 inch pipe size at 4.5 inches in length for compact installations
• Meets multiple standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before threading or removing any piping components. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
