Value Collection NG13060 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG13060 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 4 inches in pipe size and 6 inches in length, with NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for use in water distribution and general-purpose fluid transfer lines. At 4.3 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting suited for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a short threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution headers, compressed air systems, and mechanical room piping. The 6-inch length makes it suitable for close-coupled connections where a longer run is required but a full pipe section is not practical. It is appropriate for use wherever Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe components are specified.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Meets multiple standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1
• 4-inch nominal pipe size with 6-inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 4-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing and mechanical piping systems where NPT-threaded galvanized steel components are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service applies. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. 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.
