1-1/2 inch x 10 inch Galvanized Steel Nipple

1-1/2" x 10" Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple – Threaded Extension for Rigid Systems

The 1-1/2" x 10" Galvanized Steel Nipple is a straight pipe section with male threaded ends, used to extend pipe runs or bridge connections in threaded galvanized steel systems. Designed to support fluid transfer in both residential and commercial piping applications, this component offers structural integrity and corrosion resistance for indoor or exposed installations.

Manufactured from schedule 40 welded steel pipe and hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A123, this fitting provides dependable performance under a variety of mechanical and plumbing conditions. Threading conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 standards for compatibility with standard female NPT components.

Key Product Attributes

• ✅ Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel: Zinc-coated for enhanced corrosion protection, ideal for humid and moderately corrosive environments.
• ✅ Full NPT Thread Engagement: Both ends threaded to ensure a leak-resistant seal with proper sealing compound or PTFE tape.
• ✅ Welded Pipe Body: Meets mechanical strength requirements for low- to moderate-pressure fluid systems.
• ✅ Consistent Wall Thickness: Manufactured to schedule 40 specifications to support structural rigidity and pressure stability.
• ✅ Code Compatibility: Acceptable for use in many water, air, and fire protection systems in accordance with local code allowances.

Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch
• Length: 10 inches (overall length may include threaded ends)
• Material: Welded Carbon Steel (ASTM A53)
• Finish: Hot-Dip Galvanized per ASTM A123
• Connection Type: Male NPT x Male NPT

Installation Considerations

Use compatible female-threaded fittings and apply appropriate thread sealant for gas or water system pressure retention. Ensure threads are clean and properly torqued to avoid misalignment or thread damage. Suitable for rigid systems where unions are used for disassembly and access.

Application Scope

This nipple is used in a wide range of systems, including hydronic loops, compressed air lines, water distribution networks, and fire sprinkler branch extensions. Galvanized nipples are often specified in above-ground piping installations where moderate corrosion protection is required.

Material Note

Galvanized steel fittings are not recommended for use with potable water systems unless approved by local authorities having jurisdiction. They provide excellent durability in non-potable and mechanical systems where rust resistance and strength are critical.

The 1-1/2" x 10" Galvanized Steel Nipple delivers code-aligned performance for professional-grade installations. Its uniform construction and industry-standard threading support consistent assembly and long-term durability in rigid piping layouts.
