Coda Resources 506999 Galvanized Steel Nipple 1/2x2 in

Product Description

The CODA RESOURCES 506999 is a schedule 40 galvanized steel close nipple designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, compressed air, and decorative pipe applications. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length (thread to thread), this nipple is pre-cut and factory-threaded with standard IPS threads for direct connection to compatible fittings and pipe. The steel is galvanized in a hot zinc bath, providing corrosion resistance for wet and humid environments. Certified NSF 61 and lead-free, it meets potable water safety requirements. The nipple is also hydrostatically tested and manufactured in compliance with ASTM and ASME standards.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial installations where a short threaded pipe section is needed. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and industrial-style decorative pipe assemblies. The 1/2 inch nominal size is one of the most widely used in both potable water and gas-adjacent plumbing rough-in work. Standard IPS threading ensures straightforward integration with gate valves, tees, elbows, couplings, and other NPT-compatible fittings already on the job.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard schedule 40 galvanized steel nipple with IPS threads, compatible with other threaded pipe fittings and components of the same nominal pipe size. Alternate product ID: FNG12X2.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the air line before threading in or removing any nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten — use a pipe wrench with appropriate jaw protection to avoid deforming the fitting.
