Boshart NIPGL8 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple, Threaded

The Boshart NIPGL8 galvanized steel pipe nipple is built for rough-in and extended-run plumbing and piping applications where a longer or standard threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. This nipple family is available across a range of sizes, including 1" x 18", 1" x 24", 1" x 30", 1" x 36", and 1" x 48" in 1" nominal pipe size, as well as 2" x 18", 2" x 24", 2" x 30", 2" x 36", and 2" x 48" in 2" nominal pipe size. Manufactured from galvanized steel for corrosion resistance, every nipple in the line is threaded on both ends to mate with standard NPT threaded fittings, valves, and connections in the matching trade size. Longer lengths in the range are well suited for applications where a standard short nipple will not span the required distance, reducing the number of couplings needed in a threaded pipe run, while shorter lengths handle tighter rough-in spans.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 1" and 2" nominal pipe sizes for direct compatibility with standard threaded plumbing and piping systems in either size class.
  • Length Range: Lengths span from 18" up to 48" across the family, allowing a single-piece connection tailored to the specific rough-in distance and reducing the need for additional couplings in longer runs.
  • Durable Construction: Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for extended service life in rough-in plumbing and piping installations.
  • Threaded Connection: Both ends are threaded (NPT) for direct connection into standard threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in the matching trade size.
  • Rough-In Ready: Designed for behind-the-wall and under-floor installation as part of a larger threaded pipe assembly, not a finished/visible fixture component.
  • Consistent Sizing Across the Line: Each length option in a given trade size shares the same 1" or 2" NPT thread connection, simplifying selection when matching existing piping runs.

Technical Specifications

  • Trade Sizes: 1" and 2" nominal pipe size
  • Lengths: 18", 24", 30", 36", and 48" options
  • Material: Galvanized Steel
  • Connection: Threaded, both ends (NPT)

Typical Applications

  • Rough-In and Behind-the-Wall Plumbing Runs
  • Extended-Length Threaded Pipe Connections
  • Connecting Valves, Fittings, and Equipment Requiring 1" or 2" NPT Threads
  • Commercial and Residential Piping Installations
  • New Construction and Renovation Plumbing Projects

Boshart NIPGL1X18 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What pipe sizes and lengths do Boshart galvanized steel pipe nipples come in?
Two trade sizes, 1 inch and 2 inch NPT, each in five lengths: 18, 24, 30, 36 and 48 inches. That is ten combinations, from 1 x 18 inch (NIPGL1X18) up to 2 x 48 inch (NIPGL2X48). Nothing shorter than 18 inches in this family, so tight rough-in gaps under 18 inches need a close or short nipple instead.
2) Will a Boshart NIPGL galvanized nipple thread into my existing black iron or galvanized fittings?
Both ends are threaded NPT, so it mates with any standard NPT threaded fitting, valve, or piece of equipment in the matching trade size, whether that fitting is galvanized or black steel. Match the trade size exactly: the 1 inch nipples take 1 inch NPT female connections, the 2 inch nipples take 2 inch NPT.
3) Can I use a galvanized nipple on a potable water line, or should I use brass?
These are galvanized steel nipples intended for rough-in and behind-the-wall plumbing and piping runs, connecting valves, fittings and equipment on 1 or 2 inch NPT threads. Galvanizing is there for corrosion resistance in service. If your job specifies a lead-free brass or stainless nipple for a particular water application, that is a different material and this galvanized line is not a substitute for it.
4) Do I need a long nipple or a cut length of pipe with two couplings?
A single 18 to 48 inch nipple gets you one continuous threaded section with no intermediate joints, which is the point of the longer lengths in this line: fewer couplings in a threaded run means fewer places to leak and less thread cutting on site. Use the nipple when your span matches one of the five lengths; cut pipe when it does not.
5) Is a galvanized pipe nipple something that shows in a finished fixture install?
No. The NIPGL galvanized nipples are rough-in components, made for behind-the-wall and under-floor work as part of a larger threaded assembly, not a finished or visible fixture part. For an exposed supply between a wall and a fixture you want a chrome or finished nipple instead.
6) If I am standardizing nipple stock across a building, how do I keep the sizing consistent?
Every length inside a given trade size shares the same thread connection, so all five 1 inch nipples land on 1 inch NPT and all five 2 inch nipples land on 2 inch NPT. You can stock a spread of lengths in one trade size and know any of them will thread into the same fittings, which keeps MRO and maintenance carts simple.
7) Which Boshart part number is the 2 inch by 36 inch galvanized nipple?
Model NIPGL2X36 is the 2 inch NPT by 36 inch long galvanized steel nipple. The 1 inch equivalent at that length is NIPGL1X36. Part numbers in the family follow the same pattern: NIPGL, trade size, X, length.
