Value Collection NG08050 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG08050 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in pipe size and 5 inches in overall length. Both ends are threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, allowing direct connection to standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component during rough-in work or system repairs.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a short threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. It fits into Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using standard 1-1/2 inch NPT connections. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, fire protection rough-in, and low-pressure gas piping where local codes permit galvanized steel. The 5-inch length accommodates close-quarter runs where longer nipples or cut pipe are impractical.

• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size, 5 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, and valves in Schedule 40 threaded piping 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) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
