Value Collection NG04080 Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG04080 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and general industrial applications. Measuring 1/2 inch in nominal diameter and 8 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to NPT standards per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or exposed environments. Weighing 0.55 pounds, it is a standard close-tolerance fitting for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or commercial pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for low-pressure water supply, steam, gas, and air piping runs where a Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The 1/2-inch diameter fits standard pipe fittings, couplings, valves, and tees of the same nominal size. It is commonly used in retrofit repairs, new rough-in work, and maintenance applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The 8-inch length accommodates short extensions between fittings without requiring field cutting or threading.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure service
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standard for leak-free makeup
• Meets ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and multiple international standards including BS 1387, DIN 2440, and ISO 7/1
• 1/2-inch nominal diameter fits standard couplings, valves, and tees
• Compact 0.55-pound weight simplifies handling during installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded joints; inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
