Value Collection NG06045 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG06045 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1 inch nominal pipe diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, it is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure applications. Both ends carry NPT threads conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, and pipe couplings. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers, though experienced mechanical contractors also work with these fittings regularly.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in, steam and hot-water heating systems, compressed air lines, and general industrial pipe runs. The 1-inch diameter handles moderate flow volumes in water supply and distribution lines. Its short length makes it useful for close-quarter connections where a longer nipple or pipe section would not fit. Material is steel with a galvanized finish, appropriate for water service and above-ground gas lines where local codes permit threaded steel. Note that this fitting is not lead-free and should not be used in potable water systems where lead-free compliance is required.

Key Features

• 1 inch nominal pipe size, 4-1/2 inches long — fits standard close-quarter connections
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard-pressure threaded systems
• NPT threads on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for leak-resistant assembly
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or damp environments
• Meets multiple international standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, BS 1387, DIN 2440, and ISO 7/1
• Lightweight at 0.58 pounds — easy to handle and stage during rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, couplings, and pipe connections in Schedule 40 threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local mechanical codes. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring threads to full engagement — typically two to three turns past hand-tight. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple in a live line.
