Boshart NIPGL51 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple, Male Threaded

Boshart NIPGL51 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple, Male Threaded

The Boshart NIPGL51 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple built for rough-in plumbing and long-run pipe extension work where a durable, threaded connector is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. This family is available in 1/2" x 60", 1/2" x 72", and 3/4" x 72" configurations, giving contractors a choice of trade size and length to match the run. Manufactured from galvanized steel, these nipples resist corrosion better than untreated black steel, making them a practical choice for water lines, gas lines, and general piping applications where a durable, threaded connection is required. With male pipe threads on both ends, every size in this family mates directly to standard threaded fittings, valves, and equipment connections without requiring additional adapters. The extended lengths make these nipples well suited for long-run connections where standard short nipples won't bridge the distance, reducing the number of joints in a run and simplifying installation for plumbers and contractors working in mechanical rooms, utility runs, and behind-the-wall rough-in applications.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Available in 1/2" and 3/4" nominal pipe sizes, compatible with standard threaded fittings and valves in those sizes.
• Length Options: Offered in 60" and 72" overall lengths for long-run pipe extensions, reducing the number of couplings needed in a single run.
• Durable Construction: Galvanized steel provides corrosion resistance suitable for water and gas piping applications where bare steel would be prone to rust.
• Threaded Connection: Male pipe threads on both ends allow direct connection to standard threaded fittings, unions, valves, and equipment ports.
• Rough-In Ready: Designed for behind-the-wall and utility installations where a long, single-piece threaded connector simplifies plumbing runs.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring galvanized steel piping components.
