4" x 6" Galvanized Steel Nipple
The Beck 4" x 6" galvanized steel nipple is a Schedule 40 pipe fitting designed for low-pressure plumbing systems. It features NPT threads at both ends and a weld bead inside. The galvanized coating resists rust and corrosion. It suits installers needing a durable connector for air, water, oil, natural gas or steam lines.
Certified for potable water use
This nipple meets ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards and conforms to ASTM A-53 Type E Grade A and ASTM A-733 manufacturing standards. It is certified for potable water applications. Builders who require a fitting for high-pressure hydraulic systems or a non-threaded connection method should look at alternative products.
Schedule 40 wall thickness
The Schedule 40 designation defines the wall thickness and pressure rating for this 4-inch nominal pipe size. This single specification determines whether the nipple matches the system pressure requirements and fitting compatibility. Verify the schedule rating against your engineering plans before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the Beck 4" x 6" galvanized nipple come with thread sealant or must I buy it separately?
The nipple is NPT threaded at both ends per ANSI B1.20.1; sealant or tape is not included and must be purchased separately.
When should I choose this Schedule 40 nipple over another wall thickness?
Choose Schedule 40 when the system pressure and piping standard call for that wall thickness; the nipple meets ASTM A-53 Type E Grade A and ASTM A-733 for those conditions.
What does the ANSI B1.20.1 thread standard mean when I install the nipple?
It means the tapered NPT threads on both ends follow the industry dimensions for sealing with tape or compound, giving a reliable joint for water, air, oil, gas or steam.
