Value Collection NG08080 Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in 8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG08080 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe systems across plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in nominal pipe size and 8 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and is threaded on both ends to NPT standards per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments. Weighing 1.7 pounds, this is a standard close-coupling component used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors when extending or connecting threaded pipe runs.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial installations where 1-1/2-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe is specified. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution systems, condensate drain extensions, and general mechanical piping. The 8-inch length fills a mid-range gap between close and long nipple configurations, making it useful in tight rough-in scenarios where a coupling plus pipe section would be impractical. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for Schedule 40 threaded steel nipples in code-governed systems.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 nipple compatible with 1-1/2-inch threaded fittings, valves, and couplings conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or local adopted code. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
