Aqualine GPN-20-300 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-20-300 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter and 30 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water supply, industrial, and general plumbing applications. This nipple serves as a threaded pipe extension or connector between fittings and valves in piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in both new construction and retrofit work where a longer close nipple or ready-cut pipe section is required. At 8 pounds, this is a substantial piece suitable for high-flow and moderate-pressure service lines.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping systems where galvanized steel is specified. Typical applications include water distribution lines, sprinkler risers, and general service piping. Its 30-inch length makes it useful when a standard short nipple is insufficient and cutting custom pipe sections is impractical. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in trade settings.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Galvanized finish for corrosion and rust resistance
• 2-inch nominal pipe diameter for high-volume flow capacity
• 30-inch length reduces the need for additional couplings or fittings
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 40 galvanized steel piping systems using 2-inch NPT threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
