Aqualine GPN-250-60 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The AQUALINE GPN-250-60 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2.5 inches diameter by 6 inches in length. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water distribution, gas supply, and general plumbing applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and light commercial piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a threaded connector between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. It ships individually and can be ordered in single-unit increments.

This nipple is used in a wide range of piping applications including potable water supply lines, irrigation systems, compressed air lines, and natural gas distribution. Its 2.5-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings of the same diameter. The galvanized zinc coating makes it appropriate for wet or mildly corrosive environments where bare steel would be at risk of oxidation. It is commonly found in commercial mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and residential utility areas requiring a durable threaded pipe connector.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet environments
• 2.5-inch nominal diameter with 6-inch overall length
• Threaded ends for connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Single-unit order increment for flexible purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with 2.5-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings used in Schedule 40 plumbing and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is 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 applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
