A close nipple is a short threaded pipe fitting used to join two female-threaded fittings with minimal spacing between them. This fitting is used in piping systems where a near-flush connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install close nipples during new construction, retrofit work, and repair jobs across residential and commercial applications. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to water supply and general plumbing piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple fits into piping assemblies that require a 2-1\/2 inch threaded connection with no gap between fittings. It is appropriate for use in water supply lines, general-purpose plumbing distribution systems, and mechanical room piping where space between fittings is limited. This is an import product and is intended for applications where domestic-sourced material is not required by the project specification or contract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose nipple configuration allows two female-threaded fittings to be joined with minimal clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction resists corrosion in water service and general plumbing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch fitting size fits standard NPT female-threaded connections of the same size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 0.75 pounds per unit, a practical weight for field handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport designation noted for project compliance review where domestic sourcing is specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use close nipple for standard 2-1\/2 inch NPT female-threaded pipe fittings in general plumbing and mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose nipples are installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack female fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDomestic or Import\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 831041207\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233272660274,"sku":"0831041207","price":19.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307632292.jpg?v=1780095872","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-831041207-galvanized-close-nipple-2-1-2-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
