Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 in

This 1/2 inch nominal pipe size nipple is made from galvanized steel with a Schedule 40 wall thickness. It measures 8 inches in overall length and features male NPT threads on both ends for threaded connections. The electric resistance welded construction provides a corrosion-resistant finish suitable for air, gas, and potable water applications. It is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thread Compatibility and Pressure Requirements

Verify that your existing piping system uses 1/2 inch NPT threads and Schedule 40 fittings to ensure a proper seal. Confirm the system operating pressure does not exceed 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit or 150 psi steam pressure at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Check that the galvanized steel material is compatible with the specific media being transported in your installation. Ensure the 53/64 inch outside diameter matches the connecting components.

Integration Into Plumbing Systems

This nipple connects two female-threaded fittings such as couplings, elbows, or valves within a Schedule 40 steel piping network. Its welded construction and galvanized coating free the installer from applying additional corrosion protection in standard environments. The 8 inch length provides a fixed spacing between connection points without the need for cutting and threading pipe on site. It is globally sourced and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemical exposure.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the ZORO SELECT 6P799 nipple, and do I need to buy thread sealant or fittings separately?

The box contains the 1/2 in MNPT x 8 in TBE galvanized steel nipple only; thread sealant, couplings or other fittings are not included and must be purchased separately if required.

How do I decide between the 1/2 in nominal size and the 53/64 in outside diameter when selecting this Schedule 40 nipple?

The 1/2 in nominal size defines the pipe standard; the 53/64 in outside diameter is the actual measured OD for Schedule 40, so match the nominal size to your system and verify the OD fits your fittings.

What does the 300 psi @ 150 Degrees F pressure rating mean once the nipple is installed in my plumbing?

It means the nipple can safely handle up to 300 psi water or air pressure at temperatures up to 150 °F; for steam service the limit is 150 psi at 350 °F.
