Value Collection NG05080 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG05080 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 8 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to allow direct connection between fittings, valves, or other pipe segments. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, compressed air, and general-purpose piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of new construction runs or repair work on existing threaded systems.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where 3/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe is specified. Common installation scenarios include supply line extensions, boiler room piping, compressed air distribution headers, and gas branch lines where local codes permit black or galvanized steel. The 8-inch length makes it suitable for spanning short offsets between fittings without requiring a union or coupling combination. It conforms to multiple international and domestic standards, making it acceptable across a broad range of project specifications.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded piping applications
• Threaded on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for reliable, leak-resistant connections
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 3/4 inch pipe size fits widely available fittings, valves, and couplings
• Meets ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and multiple ISO, DIN, and BS standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel piping systems. Threads conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where natural gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or extending any threaded piping assembly. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; follow fitting manufacturer guidance for turn count past hand-tight.
