Aqualine GPN-20-48 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-20-48 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 48 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and humid service environments. This nipple is used to make threaded pipe connections in water supply, industrial, and general plumbing systems. Weighing 13.8 pounds, it is a heavy-duty fitting suited for commercial and residential applications where a longer close nipple run is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for use in water supply lines, irrigation systems, fire protection piping, and general industrial plumbing where Schedule 40 wall thickness and galvanized protection are specified. The 48-inch length makes it suitable for spanning longer distances between fittings or equipment connections without additional couplings. It is commonly installed in both above-ground and below-grade exposed piping where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service applications
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 2-inch nominal diameter with 48-inch length for longer pipe runs

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or fittings.
