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

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-20-40 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 4 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings or valves in a piping run. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and moderately corrosive environments. This nipple is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, industrial piping, and general trade plumbing systems where a steel nipple with NPT threads is required.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial plumbing applications where Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and fittings are specified. Typical uses include water distribution lines, irrigation supply headers, and mechanical room piping. Its 2-inch diameter makes it suitable for moderate-flow domestic and process water systems. Installers working on pool and spa plumbing supply lines also use galvanized steel nipples of this type where non-PVC metallic pipe connections are appropriate.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure water and general plumbing service
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• 2-inch nominal pipe diameter with 4-inch overall length
• Threaded both ends for direct connection to NPT-compatible fittings and valves

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing any existing fittings or nipples. Apply an approved thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before assembly. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for pipe support spacing and joint inspection on galvanized steel piping systems.
