STZ Industries 1 in. MIP x 1 in. MIP Galvanized Steel Nipple, 7 in. long, is engineered for durable, trouble-free pipe connections in water, irrigation, and light-duty commercial setups. With male iron pipe (MIP) threads on both ends and a rugged galvanized finish, this 7-inch nipple is designed to slip seamlessly into standard 1-inch piping systems while standing up to tough operating conditions.
What makes this nipple a smart choice:
-
Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel finish protects against moisture, humidity, and weather exposure, extending service life in indoor and outdoor installations.
-
Lead-free construction supports safe potable water applications and peace of mind for families and professionals alike.
-
Dual MIP ends (1 in. on each side) deliver reliable, compatible threading with compatible fittings, reducing leak risk and simplifying assembly.
-
7 in. length provides extra reach for lining up fittings where space is tight or offsets exist in piping runs.
-
High temperature and pressure tolerance handles systems up to 226 psi and up to 400°F, making it suitable for many residential and light commercial uses.
-
Bagged packaging keeps the nipple clean and organized for storage and on-site use.
Applications and best-use scenarios:
- Extending an existing 1" piping run when you need a little extra room or to create a clean offset in a water-supply line.
- Connecting two 1" MIP fittings in irrigation, sprinkler, or domestic water setups where corrosion resistance matters.
- Repairs or retrofits in basements, crawl spaces, utility rooms, or outdoor meter setups where durability is crucial.
Installation tips for a reliable seal:
- Clean threads before assembly; apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for potable water on MIP threads.
- Tighten with a compatible wrench to snugly seat the nipple without overtightening, which can damage threads.
- Inspect for straight alignment to minimize stress on connected fittings and reduce leak potential.
