Cambridge Resources 506983 Galvanized Nipple 1-1/4x2-1/2

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 506983 is a galvanized steel nipple fitting sized at 1-1/4 inches by 2-1/2 inches. A pipe nipple is a short length of threaded pipe used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas distribution, water supply, and general pipe assembly systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between fittings or at equipment tie-ins. Galvanized nipples of this size are common in water supply lines, gas branch lines, and mechanical room piping assemblies. Sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe diameter for medium-flow applications
• 2-1/2 inch overall length for close-coupled connections
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to female-threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation galvanized nipple fitting for residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe thread compound to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
