Anvil 331038000 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2 in 4.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The Anvil 331038000 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. At 2 inches nominal diameter and 4.5 inches in length, it is manufactured to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Male NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to standard fittings, valves, and couplings. This nipple is domestically produced and follows FIG 343 series specifications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of threaded nipple in commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping systems where a Schedule 40 galvanized steel fitting is required. The MNPT end style makes it compatible with standard threaded fittings across residential and light commercial installations. The 2-inch nominal size is common in main supply lines, branch connections, and riser assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 2 inch nominal diameter, Schedule 40 standard wall thickness
• 4.5 inch overall length for close-nipple and short-extension applications
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded assembly
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Domestic manufacture, FIG 343 series

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 2 inch nominal fittings and couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service should be applied to male threads before assembly. Always depressurize and drain the affected section of piping before removing or installing nipples. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
