Value Collection NG06080 Pipe Nipple 1 in 8 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG06080 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, piping, and fluid-conveyance systems. Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, it provides a reliable mechanical connection between fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe components. The nipple measures 1 inch in nominal pipe size and 8 inches in length, constructed to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and commercial systems where a short threaded section is needed between components.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, as well as industrial piping applications where Schedule 40 steel is specified. Common uses include supply line extensions, close-coupled fitting connections, and branch takeoffs. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general-purpose gas or liquid service where steel pipe is acceptable by local code. It conforms to ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASTM A733 specifications along with several international standards including DIN 2440 and ISO 7/1.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for any system using 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe nipples. Compatible with fittings, valves, and couplings threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water supply or isolate the gas line and relieve system pressure before threading or unthreading any pipe component. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Follow applicable IPC, IFGC, and local code requirements for pipe material approval, especially when installing in gas service applications.
