Galvanised Steel Pipe Nipple

This galvanised steel pipe nipple is designed for plumbing installations that require a 1/4 inch nominal size and a 5.5 inch overall length. It suits contractors and maintenance teams joining threaded components in water, air or oil lines.

Schedule 40 Welded Construction

The nipple is manufactured from welded galvanised steel with an electric resistance weld and carries a Schedule 40 rating for a maximum pressure of 500 psi. Male NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to female fittings without additional adapters, and the metal-detectable material supports safety compliance in regulated environments.

Check Thread Compatibility and Chemical Warning

Verify that the existing system uses 1/4 inch MNPT threads and that the 5.5 inch length fits the available space before ordering. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so review local handling requirements if applicable.

Questions about this item

What pressure does the 1/4" MNPT thread on this Schedule 40 nipple handle?

The threaded ends are rated for a maximum working pressure of 500 psi, which is the practical limit for the MNPT connection on this pipe nipple.

What wall thickness does Schedule 40 give this 1/4" galvanized steel nipple?

Schedule 40 defines the standard wall thickness for 1/4" nominal pipe, providing the mechanical strength required for the 500 psi rating on this 5.5" nipple.

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

Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the MNPT threads only, then tighten with a wrench on the hex flats — never clamp the pipe body, which would strip the zinc layer.
