1-1/4 inch Galvanized Steel Nipple Run (Close to 6 inch)

1-1/4” Galvanized Steel Nipple – Threaded Extension for Corrosion-Resistant Piping

The 1-1/4” galvanized steel nipple is manufactured for use in pressurized mechanical and plumbing systems requiring rigid male-threaded pipe extensions. Made from schedule 40 steel with an external zinc coating, this component provides added corrosion protection for exposed and concealed installations in potable water, HVAC, and process piping networks.

Each nipple is fabricated to industry dimensional standards, ensuring uniform thread engagement and alignment with compatible galvanized pipe and fittings. Its seamless construction and corrosion-resistant finish make it suitable for interior and exterior use in commercial, municipal, and light industrial applications.

• ✅ Galvanized Steel Body – Hot-dip zinc-coated for increased resistance to oxidation, suitable for potable and non-potable water systems.
• ✅ Threaded Ends (NPT) – Machined to precise tolerance for secure, leak-resistant connections using sealants or PTFE tape.
• ✅ System Versatility – Compatible with standard galvanized fittings in water supply, return lines, and pressure piping installations.
• ✅ Space-Conscious Design – Ideal for use in confined areas such as utility chases and ceiling drops where fixed-length extensions are required.
• ✅ Field-Ready Assembly – Supplied ready-to-thread with no additional surface preparation required before use.

Application Scope

Commonly specified for domestic water systems, roof drainage headers, and equipment tie-ins, this nipple is also utilized in vertical and horizontal runs within framing cavities. It performs reliably in systems exposed to varying moisture levels and mild chemical exposure.

Material Performance Note

Galvanized steel offers excellent service life in water conveyance systems where internal coating is not required. The zinc layer helps delay corrosion, particularly in above-ground installations subject to condensation or humidity.

Engineered for alignment-critical builds and long-term stability, this galvanized steel nipple supports compliance with standard plumbing codes and mechanical specifications. It is a reliable component in system assemblies requiring robust, threaded line extensions.
