Asc Engineered Solutions 831042205 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 831042205 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2.5 inches by 5 inches. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. This nipple is constructed from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and general fluid distribution systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors in both new construction and retrofit applications. At 1.91 pounds, the fitting offers solid, durable construction appropriate for commercial and industrial piping systems where a short close-length connection is required.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general mechanical systems where a 2.5-inch threaded connection is specified. The 5-inch body length makes it appropriate for close-coupling valves, strainers, unions, and other threaded fittings where a standard close nipple would be too short. It is a common component in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping installations.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for general piping service
• 2.5-inch fitting size accommodates standard threaded pipe connections
• 5-inch body length suits close-coupling applications requiring a defined standoff
• Weighs 1.91 pounds, indicating robust wall thickness appropriate for mechanical piping
• Import-sourced fitting suitable for non-critical general plumbing and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded galvanized steel pipe nipple for use in 2.5-inch piping systems following NPT thread standards in general plumbing and mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
