Value Collection NG06060 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG06060 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. Measuring 1 inch in pipe size and 6 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring reliable thread engagement with standard fittings and valves. Constructed from steel with a galvanized finish, it provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. At 0.78 pounds, it is a dense, durable component suited for low- to medium-pressure piping runs where a short, fixed-length nipple is required.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping installations wherever a 1-inch threaded connection is needed. Typical applications include connecting pipe runs to valves, couplings, tees, and other threaded fittings in water supply, gas distribution, and HVAC hydronic systems. The 6-inch length makes it suitable for close-quarter runs where a standard close or hex nipple would be too short but a longer pipe segment is unnecessary. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 1-inch pipe size with 6-inch overall length for short fixed-length runs
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure piping
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for compatibility with standard fittings
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed conditions
• Meets multiple standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use nipple compatible with 1-inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe sections in Schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to complete the connection. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
