Value Collection NG06050 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1 in 5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG06050 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1 inch in nominal pipe size and 5 inches in overall length. Both ends are threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, allowing direct connection to fittings, valves, and pipe sections with compatible NPT threads. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. At 0.63 pounds, the fitting is lightweight enough for quick single-hand handling during rough-in and service work.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where a short close-nipple extension is needed between fittings. Typical applications include water supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and gas piping rough-in where local codes permit steel threaded pipe. Plumbers and pipefitters use Schedule 40 nipples like this one for transitioning between valves, unions, tees, and elbows in both new construction and retrofit scenarios. The 5-inch length provides enough extension to clear structural members or provide access for wrenching.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal pipe size with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure ratings
• 5-inch overall length suits close-quarter fitting extensions and transitions
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT thread standard
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and exposed environments
• Meets multiple international standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, BS 1387, DIN 2440, and ISO 7/1
• Lightweight at 0.63 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 1-inch NPT threaded pipe systems conforming to Schedule 40 specifications. Fits standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings across residential and commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
