Value Collection NG13028 Pipe Nipple 4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG13028 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems requiring a short close-coupled connection. Manufactured from Schedule 40 steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this nipple measures 4 inches in nominal pipe size and 2-7/8 inches in overall length. Both ends are threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, allowing direct makeup with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in water distribution, gas distribution, and industrial process piping where a rigid, corrosion-resistant steel connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire suppression, and industrial piping applications where Schedule 40 wall thickness and galvanized corrosion protection are specified. The 4-inch nominal size fits into standard 4-inch threaded piping assemblies. It is appropriate for use in systems where moderate-pressure service and threaded-end connections are required. Installers working with galvanized black iron systems in gas, water, or steam service will find this nipple a direct-fit component for close-coupled runs.

Key Features

• 4-inch nominal pipe size with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping service
• 2-7/8-inch overall length suits close-coupled or tight-clearance installations
• Threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standard
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water and gas service
• Meets multiple international standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order quantity beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard 4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup, and tighten with pipe wrenches to achieve proper engagement without over-threading. Do not use galvanized nipples in systems where the service fluid or operating temperature is incompatible with galvanized steel.
