Zoro Select 6P796 1/2" MNPT Pipe Nipple

This galvanised steel pipe nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 specifications for use with air, gas and potable water systems. It features a 1/2 inch nominal pipe size and a 5 1/2 inch overall length with male NPT threads on both ends. The fitting is designed for standard plumbing and industrial piping installations.

Check Thread Compatibility and Pressure Needs

Verify that your existing piping uses 1/2 inch NPT threads and Schedule 40 wall thickness before ordering. The nipple is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees F and a maximum steam pressure of 150 psi at 350 degrees F. Confirm these limits match the requirements of your specific application.

Suits Standard Plumbing and Industrial Piping

This nipple suits installers needing a corrosion-resistant, welded steel connector for Schedule 40 systems carrying air, gas or potable water. It is not intended for applications exceeding the stated pressure and temperature ratings or for piping systems using different thread standards or schedules. Buyers requiring alternative lengths, diameters or materials should look at other fittings.

Questions about this item

Does the 1/2 inch MNPT galvanized nipple come with any gaskets or thread sealant, or must they be purchased separately?

The nipple is supplied as a single Schedule 40 steel piece with galvanized coating; gaskets, tape or pipe dope are not included and must be sourced separately.

Which length and schedule should I select for a standard 1/2 inch nominal pipe system rated to 300 psi at 150 °F?

Choose the 5-1/2 inch overall length in Schedule 40; it matches the 1/2 inch nominal size and meets the 300 psi at 150 °F pressure rating.

What does the 300 psi at 150 °F rating mean when the nipple is installed in a hot-water line?

It indicates the maximum continuous operating pressure for water up to 150 °F; above that temperature the allowable pressure drops toward the 150 psi steam limit at 350 °F.
