Measuring 2-1\/2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, compressed air, and general-purpose piping runs. At 2.1 pounds, this nipple offers the wall thickness and structural integrity expected from Schedule 40 steel pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, fire protection, gas piping, and industrial mechanical systems where a short close-nipple extension is needed between threaded fittings. Typical installations include boiler rooms, utility connections, irrigation manifolds, and industrial fluid transfer lines. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with standard NPT threaded systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch nominal pipe size with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inch overall length suitable for close-offset connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for fast, toolless-free wrench assembly into NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 rating meets standard pressure and flow requirements for commercial and residential systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping systems using 2-1\/2 inch nominal pipe size fittings and valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).
