  • 1/4 in NPT threads fit standard Schedule 40 piping
  • Galvanised steel coating resists corrosion in air and water lines
  • 300 psi rating at 150 °F handles pressurised systems
  • Electric resistance weld construction ensures leak-free joints
  • 3 inch overall length suits tight installation spaces

Pipe Nipple for Air, Gas and Water Lines

This galvanised steel nipple connects threaded pipe sections in plumbing and pneumatic systems. The 1/4 inch nominal size and three inch overall length suit Schedule 40 networks carrying air, gases or potable water. Electric resistance welded construction provides a consistent joint for pressure service.

Galvanised Coating and Welded Seam

The zinc finish resists corrosion in damp or outdoor installations while the welded seam maintains integrity under pressure. No additional sealant, tape or coupling is supplied in the package so installers must provide compatible thread sealant and tightening tools separately.

Schedule 40 Pressure Limits

Maximum operating pressure is 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and steam service is rated to 150 psi at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The 17/32 inch outside diameter fits standard Schedule 40 fittings only; it will not mate with lighter or heavier wall schedules without adapters. Builders needing higher pressure ratings or different nominal sizes must select alternative products.

Questions about this item

How often will the galvanized coating need replacement under potable water use?

The galvanized finish resists corrosion, so no scheduled coating replacement is needed for air, gases or potable water applications.

What pressure limit is reached first during continuous 150 °F operation?

The maximum operating pressure is 300 psi at 150 °F, which governs sustained use before the 150 psi steam rating applies.

Does the pipe nipple generate noticeable heat or noise when pressurised all day?

As a passive steel fitting it produces no noise and negligible heat; only the fluid temperature of up to 350 °F for steam affects the assembly.
