Short silver threaded steel pipe nipple with galvanized finish

Value Brand

Value Brand 1/4" MNPT x 2-1/2" Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

SKU CH-H37A-DVGTH

Threaded galvanized steel nipple, Schedule 40 rated for 300 psi at 150 °F

  • Threaded both ends for quick installation
  • Galvanized steel resists corrosion in wet systems
  • Schedule 40 wall handles 300 psi at 150 °F
  • ASTM A53 Type E grade B ensures consistent quality
  • Electric resistance weld adds structural strength

1/4" Sch 40 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

This 1/4 inch nominal pipe nipple is made from welded galvanized steel with male NPT threads on both ends. It conforms to Schedule 40 dimensions and carries ASTM A-53 Type E and ASTM A-733 Grade B standards. The fitting is designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing and mechanical systems.

Replaces worn or corroded threaded nipples

Use this nipple to replace a damaged section of 1/4 inch galvanized pipe where both ends require male threads. The jump is worth it when the existing fitting shows leakage at the threads, visible rust penetration, or deformation from over-tightening. It restores a pressure-rated connection up to 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Threads into standard 1/4" FNPT ports

Installation requires only a pipe wrench and thread sealant applied to the male threads. The electric resistance weld seam is internal and does not affect thread engagement. What usually goes wrong is cross-threading during startup or over-tightening that cracks the female fitting; hand-tight plus one to two turns with a wrench is standard practice.

Questions about this item

What thread size and length does the 1/4" MNPT galvanized nipple need to fit?

It has 1/4 inch MNPT threads on both ends and an overall length of 2.5 inches, Schedule 40 wall thickness .088 inch.

How do you install the threaded steel nipple without damaging the galvanized coating?

Apply pipe-thread sealant or tape to the MNPT threads, hand-tighten, then finish with a wrench on the hex flats — avoid clamping on the pipe body.

When should the Schedule 40 galvanized nipple be replaced in a 300 psi system?

Replace if threads show corrosion, wall loss exceeds the .088 inch nominal thickness, or pressure tests drop below the 300 psi at 150°F rating.
