Value Brand 1/4" MNPT x 6" TBE Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

SKU CH-QWKZ-MP7BV

A galvanised steel pipe nipple with threaded ends for 500 psi plumbing systems

  • Threaded both ends for quick installation
  • Galvanized steel resists corrosion in water lines
  • Schedule 40 wall handles 500 psi service
  • Electric resistance weld adds joint strength
  • California Prop 65 notice included for compliance

1/4" MNPT Threaded Pipe Nipple

This 1/4 inch nominal pipe nipple features MNPT threads on both ends for connecting female-threaded fittings in plumbing systems. The six inch overall length provides a fixed spacing between components. It suits installers needing a short, rigid connector for water, air or gas lines.

Schedule 40 Galvanized Steel Construction

The nipple is made from welded galvanized steel with an electric resistance weld seam. Galvanisation protects the surface against corrosion in damp or outdoor environments. Rated for a maximum pressure of 500 psi, it meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements for standard-duty applications.

Threaded Both Ends for Direct Assembly

Threaded ends allow the nipple to screw directly into couplings, elbows, valves or other female NPT ports without additional adapters. The metal-detectable material aids locating the fitting inside walls or underground. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemicals present in the galvanised coating.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/4" MNPT threaded ends without cross-threading?

Start both male NPT threads by hand until they engage smoothly, then tighten with a wrench on the pipe flats — forcing them with tools first is the common error that damages the tapered threads.

What maintenance will the galvanized steel nipple need over time?

Inspect the zinc coating periodically for white rust or flaking; if corrosion reaches the base steel, replace the nipple because the Schedule 40 wall cannot be restored once the galvanizing fails.

At what pressure limit should I watch for creep during sustained use?

The 500 psi rating is the maximum working pressure; operating continuously near that level can accelerate stress-corrosion cracking at the electric-resistance weld seam.
