Boshart 56256 3/4" x 60" Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

The Boshart 56256 is a 3/4" x 60" galvanized steel pipe nipple built for rough-in plumbing runs where a longer threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. Galvanized construction provides a corrosion-resistant threaded pipe segment suited for water supply and general piping applications where a standard nipple length is too short. This nipple is threaded on both ends to mate with standard iron pipe thread (IPS) fittings, making it a straightforward drop-in component for plumbers and contractors extending or connecting galvanized steel piping systems.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 3/4" nominal pipe size, sized to connect with standard 3/4" threaded fittings and valves.
  • Length: 60" overall length, providing extended reach for runs where a standard-length nipple will not bridge the connection.
  • Durable Construction: Galvanized steel body resists corrosion in typical plumbing and piping environments, extending service life versus uncoated steel.
  • Threaded Connection: Male-threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard threaded galvanized steel or iron pipe fittings.
  • Rigid One-Piece Design: Solid steel nipple construction provides a rigid, reliable connector for behind-the-wall and mechanical room piping runs.

Technical Specifications

  • Trade Size: 3/4"
  • Length: 60"
  • Material: Galvanized Steel
  • Connection: Threaded (both ends)

Typical Applications

  • Residential and Commercial Rough-In Plumbing
  • Extending Galvanized Pipe Runs Between Fittings and Valves
  • Mechanical Room and Utility Piping Installations
  • Renovation and New Construction Piping Connections
  • Water Supply Line Extensions Requiring Threaded Steel Connectors

Why Boshart?

Boshart supplies galvanized steel pipe nipples built for the demands of professional plumbing rough-in work, where a rigid, corrosion-resistant threaded connector is essential to a reliable piping run. The galvanized coating and solid steel body of the 56256 nipple give plumbers and contractors a dependable connector for extending 3/4" threaded pipe runs without introducing a weak point into the system. Choose Boshart for straightforward, code-familiar threaded pipe components that fit standard IPS fittings and hold up to everyday rough-in installation conditions.

Boshart 56256 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Boshart 56256 pipe nipple thread into standard 3/4 inch galvanized fittings?
Yes. The 56256 is a 3/4 inch nominal galvanized steel nipple, male threaded on both ends to mate with standard iron pipe thread (IPS) fittings and valves. If your existing run is 3/4 inch threaded galvanized or black iron, it screws straight in with pipe dope or PTFE tape at each end.
2) How long is the Boshart 56256 nipple, and when would I use a 60 inch nipple instead of cut-and-thread pipe?
It is 60 inches overall. At that length it works as a ready-made threaded run between two fittings, valves, or a piece of equipment where a shorter nipple will not bridge the gap, and it saves you cutting and threading pipe on site. For distances that do not land near 60 inches, a shorter nipple plus a coupling, or cut-to-length threaded pipe, is the better route.
3) Is a galvanized steel nipple the right choice for a potable water supply line?
The 56256 is described for water supply and general piping, and the galvanized coating is what gives it corrosion resistance over bare steel. It is a standard rough-in component for threaded steel water piping. Where a system is copper, PEX, or CPVC, you would transition with an adapter rather than run galvanized, and for a coated run in a corrosive or exposed setting a different material spec may be called for on the drawing.
4) Can I cut a 60 inch galvanized nipple down and rethread it for a shorter run?
Mechanically yes, it is a solid one-piece steel nipple, but cutting removes the factory galvanizing at the cut and any rethreaded end will be bare steel unless you coat it. For behind-the-wall work most plumbers order the nipple length that fits rather than field-cutting a galvanized piece. If you do cut it, the remaining piece is only threaded on the original end.
5) Does a 3/4 inch nipple mean the outside diameter is 3/4 inch?
No. 3/4 inch is the nominal trade size, which is what the threads mate to, not the measured outside diameter of the pipe. Order by trade size to match your 3/4 inch fittings and valves rather than measuring the body with a tape.
