1 inch x 36 inch Galvanized Steel Nipple

1" x 36" Galvanized Steel Nipple – For Durable Piping Extensions

The 1" x 36" galvanized steel nipple is fabricated for robust performance in water distribution, air, and low-pressure industrial systems. Its hot-dip galvanized coating offers added resistance to corrosion, making it well-suited for extended service life in indoor and outdoor environments.

This component is cut and threaded to conform to ANSI B1.20.1 pipe thread standards, ensuring compatibility with standard 1" NPT fittings. Ideal for linear pipe extensions, repairs, or bridging pipe sections, the 36" length accommodates a range of installation layouts without the need for couplings or unions.

Product Highlights

• ✅ Material: Schedule 40 galvanized steel, hot-dip coated per ASTM A53 or equivalent
• ✅ Thread Type: NPT male threads on both ends, machined to ensure a precise seal
• ✅ Length: 36 inches overall, measured from thread-to-thread
• ✅ Nominal Pipe Size: 1 inch
• ✅ Application: Suitable for potable water, air distribution, and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance is critical

Installation Considerations

Use PTFE tape or pipe joint compound on threaded ends during installation to ensure a leak-resistant joint. The extended length may require additional bracketing or pipe support in accordance with IPC or local mechanical code to prevent deflection under load. Always verify thread compatibility prior to final tightening.

Common Applications

This nipple is typically used in:

• Long horizontal or vertical pipe runs where a continuous 36" section is required
• Retrofitting or replacing worn galvanized lines in potable or non-potable systems
• Service lines in utility rooms, mechanical systems, or irrigation assemblies

Code and Usage Compliance

Galvanized steel nipples conform to dimensional and performance standards required in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. May be used in above-ground water systems per local code if corrosion protection is not compromised.

Technical Summary

• Outside Diameter: 1.315 inches (per ANSI/ASME B36.10M)
• Wall Thickness: Schedule 40 (approx. 0.133")
• Pressure Rating: Up to 150 psi WOG in threaded systems, depending on installation
• Finish: Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance

With its rugged construction and extended length, the 1" x 36" galvanized steel nipple is a critical component for professionals working in systems that demand reliability and compliance. Designed to perform under a wide range of conditions, it supports clean, code-compliant installations in both new construction and renovation work.
