Value Brand 1-1/2" MNPT x 8" TBE Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Application Range

This galvanized steel pipe nipple suits air, gas and potable water lines in residential and light commercial plumbing. The Schedule 40 rating and 300 psi pressure limit at 150 degrees Fahrenheit match standard municipal supply requirements. Electric resistance welded construction provides consistent wall thickness for reliable sealing. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content.

Thermal and Pressure Performance

The fitting handles continuous water pressure up to 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and saturated steam up to 150 psi at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Galvanized coating resists corrosion from moisture and mineral exposure in typical indoor installations. Welded seam integrity remains stable across the rated temperature span without additional joint compounds. No moving parts mean silent operation under flow.

Upgrade Context

This nipple replaces corroded or damaged threaded sections in existing Schedule 40 steel piping without changing pipe diameter or fitting class. The 8 inch overall length and 1 57/64 inch outside diameter fit standard 1 1/2 inch nominal connections. It is not suited for systems requiring higher pressure classes, stainless steel compatibility or non-threaded joining methods.
