3/4 inch x 60 inch Galvanized Steel Nipple

3/4" x 60" Galvanized Steel Nipple – Threaded Pipe for Water and Mechanical Applications

This 3/4" x 60" galvanized steel nipple is a rigid, threaded fitting designed for extended pipe runs in water supply, drainage, and mechanical systems. Manufactured from carbon steel and coated with a zinc layer for corrosion protection, it provides a durable solution for above-ground piping where threaded connections are required over long distances.

Both ends feature tapered National Pipe Thread (NPT) male threads for secure coupling with cast iron, galvanized, or malleable iron fittings. Its 60-inch length makes it suitable for uninterrupted transitions between valves, risers, and fixtures in utility systems and process piping layouts.

Product Features

• ✅ Material: Schedule-rated carbon steel with hot-dipped galvanized coating per ASTM A53 or A106 specifications
• ✅ Length: 60 inches (nominal)
• ✅ Diameter: 3/4 inch nominal pipe size (NPS)
• ✅ Thread Type: ANSI B1.20.1 NPT tapered male threads on both ends
• ✅ Protective Coating: Zinc galvanization for corrosion resistance in non-subterranean environments

Installation Considerations

This nipple is intended for use in systems requiring rigid support and corrosion-resistant threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape before installation to prevent leaks. Do not use with potable water systems where lead-free compliance is required unless the product is verified lead-free under NSF/ANSI 372. Use proper support bracketing to minimize stress on long horizontal runs.

Typical Applications

• Hot and cold water distribution (non-potable where applicable)
• Mechanical piping in HVAC or hydronic heating systems
• Compressed air lines and industrial fluid conveyance
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring long horizontal or vertical extensions

Performance Note

Galvanized steel is effective in resisting rust formation on interior and exterior surfaces under normal atmospheric conditions. It is not recommended for use with acidic or chlorinated media, and is not suitable for underground burial unless further protected.

Specifications Summary

• Nominal Size: 3/4"
• Length: 60"
• Connection: Male NPT x Male NPT
• Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel
• Standard Compliance: ASTM A53 Grade A/B, ANSI B1.20.1

The 3/4" x 60" galvanized steel nipple is a standard solution for long-run connections in structural and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance and threaded integration are required. Its construction supports consistent performance in both utility and general-purpose piping installations.
