Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, irrigation, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. This nipple serves as a threaded connector between fittings, valves, or equipment in both above-ground and compatible below-grade piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when a close-coupled rigid connection is needed between two female-threaded components. At 5.05 pounds, the piece has the wall thickness and mass expected of Schedule 40 schedule pipe fittings used in commercial and residential trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, gas piping, and industrial process lines where a 2.5-inch threaded steel connection is required. The 12-inch length accommodates installations that need a short rigid run between two threaded ports without cutting and threading field pipe. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, pump stations, and pool or spa equipment pads where corrosion-resistant threaded fittings are standard practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in water and gas piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5-inch nominal diameter with NPT male threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch overall length for short rigid runs between fittings or equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 5.05 pounds, consistent with full Schedule 40 wall construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple compatible with 2.5-inch female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, and equipment couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service applies. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended engagement using a pipe wrench. Do not over-tighten threaded galvanized fittings, as this can crack cast fittings or distort threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 675135120758\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AQUALINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GPN-250-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AQUALINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396360306994,"sku":"GPN-250-12","price":44.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312834135.jpg?v=1782830170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/aqualine-gpn-250-12-galvanized-steel-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
