Edmund a Gray NIPGAL2-512 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The EDMUND A GRAY NIPGAL2-512 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 5-1/2 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections used to join two fittings, valves, or pipe sections in a run. This nipple is galvanized for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work and system repairs. The galvanized zinc coating provides a durable barrier against rust in both indoor and outdoor environments.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. Typical applications include water supply lines, natural gas and propane distribution piping, compressed air systems, and general pipe assembly work. The 2-inch diameter accommodates moderate-flow service runs common in commercial plumbing and industrial utility installations. It is appropriate for use wherever a short threaded nipple is required to connect fixtures, valves, unions, or couplings in a galvanized pipe system.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water and gas service
• 2-inch nominal pipe diameter suitable for moderate-flow applications
• 5-1/2 inch length provides a close reach between fittings without excessive extension
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection to fittings, valves, and couplings
• Compatible with standard galvanized and black iron pipe system components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for galvanized steel pipe systems using 2-inch NPT threaded fittings in plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
