Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other components within a piping system. This nipple features a hot-dip or mill galvanized zinc coating that provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moist environments. It is a standard close-coupled fitting used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in water supply, gas distribution, and general-purpose piping assemblies. Each unit ships individually and is sold in a package quantity of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis galvanized nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where threaded steel pipe connections are required. Typical applications include water supply lines, heating system piping, compressed air distribution, and general utility piping in industrial or commercial settings. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for outdoor, basement, or utility installations where bare steel would be prone to rust and early degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch nominal pipe size with 4-inch overall length for close-coupled connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for standard NPT fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package quantity of 5 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction suitable for water, air, and general-purpose piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting compatible with 2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of threaded pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Always shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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: 5.36 pounds (package of 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\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: B K Mueller Industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 568-040HN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559709475122,"sku":"568-040HN","price":28.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7bf71ba8c17ea41f71803551f6e7686c_4ffa1ab9-0c87-4f3c-b6c4-4100132c3a72.jpg?v=1786438782","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/b-k-mueller-568-040hn-galvanized-pipe-nipple-2x4-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
