Midland Industries 56163 Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 56163 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel welded pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It features male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends at a 2-inch nominal size and measures 3.5 inches in overall length. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or humid environments. With a wall thickness of 0.154 inches and a pressure rating of 2500 psi, this nipple is built to handle demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of steel pipe runs in commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for use in water distribution, gas piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and general industrial fluid handling where Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe fittings are specified. The 2-inch diameter makes it appropriate for moderate to high-flow service lines. It is commonly used to close short gaps between threaded fittings, valves, and equipment connections. The temperature range of -150 to 200 degrees F covers most standard service environments encountered in building mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten using a pipe wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the rated working pressure for the system.
