Jay R Smith 74020-81-50-026 Nipple for Flange

Product Description

The JAY R SMITH 74020-81-50-026 is a nipple fitting designed for use with flange connections in commercial and residential plumbing systems. Nipple fittings like this serve as short threaded connectors between a flange and a pipe or fitting, allowing a secure, leak-resistant joint at the point of transition. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of component during new construction, renovation, or repair work where a flanged connection requires a threaded extension to complete the piping assembly.

This nipple is suited for drain, waste, and vent applications or supply piping systems that incorporate flanged connections. It is commonly installed at floor drains, pipe risers, and similar transition points where a flange must be coupled to a run of threaded pipe. The fitting is appropriate for use in both light commercial and residential plumbing configurations wherever the JAY R SMITH flange series is specified.

Key Features

• Threaded nipple design mates directly with compatible flanged fittings
• Provides a secure, leak-resistant transition at flange connection points
• Compact form factor fits typical pipe-to-flange assembly requirements
• Intended for use within the JAY R SMITH flange product series

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or accessory nipple for use with JAY R SMITH flange fittings in commercial and residential plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or replacing any threaded fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded connections to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this may damage the fitting or the mating flange.
