Edmund a Gray NIPGAL2-412 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGAL2-412 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple with a nominal pipe size of 2 inches and a length of 4.5 inches. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping assembly. This nipple is manufactured from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for water, gas, and general-purpose piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install pipe nipples as part of routine service, new construction, and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial piping applications where a 2-inch threaded connection is required. The 4.5-inch body length makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections where a longer run of pipe is not needed. It threads directly into standard NPT-compatible fittings, valves, and equipment flanges.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and gas service environments
• Nominal pipe size of 2 inches with standard NPT threading
• 4.5-inch overall length for close-coupled piping connections
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas, and HVAC hydronic applications.

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 requirements where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate to the service medium before threading the nipple into place. Do not overtighten threaded connections; follow fitting manufacturer torque guidance and standard trade practice.
