Aqualine GPN-20-30 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 2x3 in Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-20-30 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple with a 2-inch nominal diameter and a 3-inch overall length. It serves as a short threaded connector used to join sections of pipe, fittings, valves, and other threaded components in water supply, irrigation, and general plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet and exposed environments. Both ends are male NPT threaded for direct connection to female-threaded fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in residential and light commercial applications where a compact threaded extension or union between components is required.

This nipple is suited for water supply lines, irrigation risers, pump connections, and general pipe assembly work in both above-ground and in-wall installations. The 2-inch nominal size is common in main water distribution runs, pool and spa plumbing, and irrigation manifolds. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical residential and light commercial service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation contractors handle installation in code-governed systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure water service
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• 2-inch nominal diameter fits standard 2-inch NPT fittings and valves

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
