Value Collection NG06040 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG06040 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 1 inch in nominal pipe size and 4 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Both ends are threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is specified. Typical applications include water distribution lines, natural gas supply runs, steam systems, and compressed air piping. The 1-inch nominal size fits standard 1-inch threaded fittings throughout these systems. It is commonly used as a close coupling between valves, unions, tees, and elbows wherever a short, rigid threaded connection is needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for leak-resistant connections
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with 4-inch overall length for short-run connections
• 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 for standard 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
