Boshart NIPGL3 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

Boshart NIPGL3 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

The Boshart NIPGL3 galvanized steel pipe nipple series covers a wide range of nominal pipe sizes and lengths, giving contractors and plumbers a dependable, corrosion-resistant threaded connector for rough-in plumbing, mechanical, and utility applications. This family is available in nominal sizes from 1/4" up to 2-1/2" with lengths spanning from short 1/2" sections up to longer 5" runs, so the correct nipple can be matched to the specific fitting spacing required on the job. Every option in the line shares the same galvanized steel construction and standard iron-pipe-thread (IPS) male ends, making the series a practical stocking choice for service trucks, rough-in kits, and mechanical rooms where multiple nipple sizes are needed on hand.

Because these nipples are threaded on both ends, they connect directly to standard threaded valves, fittings, and equipment without requiring additional adapters. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed, wet, or utility environments, helping the connection hold up over time in both residential and commercial pipe runs. As a rigid, short-run fitting, the nipple is well suited to situations where flexible tubing is not appropriate and a solid, code-familiar threaded joint is required.

Key Features

• Size Range: Available in nominal pipe sizes from 1/4" through 2-1/2", with lengths ranging from approximately 1/2" up to 5" depending on the option selected.
• Durable Construction: Galvanized steel body resists corrosion and rust in wet, exposed, or utility rough-in environments.
• Threaded Connection: Male threaded ends on both sides allow direct connection to standard threaded fittings, valves, and equipment without additional adapters.
• Rigid, Short-Run Design: Compact nipple lengths make the series ideal for tight connections between fittings where flexible tubing is not appropriate.
• Trade-Standard Compatibility: Works with common galvanized and black iron pipe systems found in plumbing and mechanical rough-in work.
• Consistent Stocking Line: A single series of shared materials and thread standards across many sizes simplifies stocking for service crews and rough-in kits.
