A pipe nipple is a short pipe with one or both threaded ends, used to join two female pipe fittings, such as couplings in a threaded piping system. It looks simple, and it is, but note: the wrong thread standard, length, or schedule is one of the most common reasons a shipment gets rejected at receiving.
We cut to Schedule 40, 80, XH and XXH — schedule refers to wall thickness, not length. A higher schedule means thicker pipe wall and a higher pressure rating, not a longer nipple.
Threaded Both Ends
Threaded on both sides — our default configuration for a standard nipple.
No barrel
Threaded along its entire length, no unthreaded shoulder — for the tightest connections.
Threaded One End
One end threaded, one left plain — usually for a weld-to-thread transition.
Center section
The unthreaded middle of a standard nipple — a longer barrel means a longer overall nipple.
Every nipple we ship gets checked against three numbers before it leaves the shop floor: overall length, thread length, and OD. Confirm those three in your inquiry and everything else follows.
Same cutting and threading process across all four — the difference is how each one holds up once it’s installed. Here’s what each is actually good for.
For anything that gets rained on. Hot-dip zinc coating holds up outdoors where black steel would start rusting fast.

All three get made in-house — tell us which your mating fitting uses.
American standard, 60° angle, tapered — seals through thread interference. The default across North America.
BSPT
British standard, 55° angle, tapered — same sealing principle as NPT, but not interchangeable with it.
BSPP
British standard, 55° angle, straight — seals with a washer or O-ring instead of the thread itself.
Every material above comes in the same configurations — standard pipe nipple, close nipple, and TOE nipple, plus long nipples on request. Pick your material first, then choose the length and thread from there.
A snapshot of what’s moved through the shop floor lately — the full catalog covers hundreds of size, material and thread combinations.
Galvanized. Black steel’s mill finish will corrode noticeably faster once it’s outside or wet; the zinc coating on galvanized is built for that exposure.
Yes, as long as the thread standard matches — just watch for galvanic corrosion if the joint stays wet for long periods.
Check the mating fitting’s spec, or send us a thread gauge reading or part number and we’ll match it exactly.
500 pieces on standard sizes. Smaller sample runs and custom lengths are available — ask when you send your spec.
