Aqualine GPN-20-60 Galvanized Steel Nipple 2x6 Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-20-60 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches by 6 inches, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suited to wet and exposed environments. At 1.52 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight fitting built to standard Schedule 40 wall thickness. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close connector between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe runs where a short, rigid male-threaded extension is needed.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial applications including potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, gas distribution piping where galvanized fittings are code-permitted, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The 2-inch diameter and 6-inch body length make it a commonly specified size for boiler connections, pump headers, and manifold assemblies. It is suitable for above-grade and indoor installations where the pipe system calls for threaded Schedule 40 galvanized steel components.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded pipe systems
• Galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed conditions
• 2-inch nominal diameter with 6-inch body length for versatile fitting clearances
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings and valves
• 1.52-pound solid steel construction for durable, long-term service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 2-inch Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel pipe systems in plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench and thread-seal tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC guidelines when using galvanized steel nipples in gas service, as some jurisdictions restrict galvanized fittings on gas lines. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
