1/4" Galvanized Steel Close Nipple

This Schedule 40 pipe nipple provides a short, threaded connection for air, gas or potable-water lines. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor installations. Electric-resistance welding gives a consistent joint along the full 7/8 in overall length.

Replaces worn or leaking threaded nipples

Swap out a corroded or damaged nipple when system pressure reaches the 300 psi rating at 150 °F or 150 psi steam at 350 °F. The close TBE design fits tight assemblies where a longer nipple would interfere with adjacent fittings.

Suits plumbers and maintenance crews needing a 1/4

Builders who require a larger diameter, a different schedule or a non-galvanized finish should select an alternative fitting. The globally sourced nipple carries a Proposition 65 warning for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.

The nipple has 1/4 in MNPT threads, so it mates with a 1/4 in FNPT fitting.

Which step is often missed when installing the galvanized steel nipple?

Apply thread sealant on the tapered NPT threads before tightening to prevent leaks.

When should the Schedule 40 nipple be replaced?

Replace it if the galvanized coating is damaged, threads are deformed, or corrosion appears.
