GI (Galvanized Iron) pipe nipples are short lengths of GI pipe with threaded ends, used primarily for connecting two pipes or fittings in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. They play a crucial role in extending pipeline lengths or connecting components in both water and gas distribution networks. Made from mild steel and coated with a protective layer of zinc through the galvanization process, GI pipe nipples are highly resistant to corrosion and rust. This zinc coating helps extend their lifespan, especially in moist or outdoor environments where metal parts are prone to degradation. The threading on both ends allows for easy and secure connections without welding, making them ideal for quick installations or temporary setups. GI pipe nipples are available in various lengths and diameters to suit different applications. Common types include close nipples (very short length), hex nipples (with a hexagonal center for wrench grip), and long nipples for extended connections. They can be used in plumbing systems, water heaters, pumps, gas pipelines, air compressors, and other fluid-handling systems. One of the key advantages of using GI pipe nipples is their strength and mechanical durability. They can handle high pressure and are suitable for both hot and cold water applications. Their compatibility with a wide range of fittings and materials (like brass, steel, or PVC) adds to their versatility. In addition to their functional benefits, GI pipe nipples are cost-effective and widely available in standard sizes. Their robust performance and ease of use make them a preferred choice in construction, industrial plants, and residential plumbing systems.
