Value Collection NG04060 Pipe Nipple 1/2 in 6 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG04060 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in pipe size and 6 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 compatible fittings, valves, and pipe runs. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water service and general-purpose piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though experienced tradespeople across mechanical disciplines regularly work with nipples of this type.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, gas supply lines where galvanized steel is code-permitted, and general-purpose industrial piping. The 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard half-inch threaded pipe systems, and the 6 inch length makes it appropriate for close-quarter extensions, riser connections, and manifold assemblies where a close nipple or hex nipple would be too short. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in water and general-service applications
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size, 6 inches in length
• Meets multiple standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems, fittings, and valves in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line and relieve system pressure before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard practice. Verify local code compliance before using galvanized steel pipe on gas or potable water systems, as some jurisdictions restrict its use in those applications.
