It serves as a threaded connector used to join pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in water supply, industrial, and mechanical piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments. This nipple is sized for standard 2-inch NPT threaded connections and is suited for plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, and general-purpose pipe assembly work performed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where a 2-inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include water supply distribution, drain and vent assemblies, fire suppression rough-in, and hydronic heating piping. The 18-inch length accommodates installations that require a longer close nipple run between fittings or across a short span in a pipe rack or mechanical room layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in water and mechanical piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-inch body length suitable for spanning short offsets in pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 5 pounds for straightforward handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe nipple for use with standard 2-inch NPT fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe flanges in Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Apply a rated pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Use a pipe wrench sized for 2-inch pipe and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid supply before cutting into any existing piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 675135215850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AQUALINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GPN-20-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AQUALINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396274192690,"sku":"GPN-20-18","price":41.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312834154.jpg?v=1782828825","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/aqualine-gpn-20-18-galvanized-steel-nipple-2x18-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
