Midland Industries 57192 Welded Pipe Nipple 2-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 57192 is a welded steel pipe nipple sized at 2-1/2 inches MPT on both ends with an 11-inch body length. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness at 0.203 inches, this nipple is rated for 2500 psi working pressure and a temperature range of -150 to 200 degrees F. The black steel construction meets ANSI B1.20.1 thread dimensional standards, ensuring consistent thread engagement across fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use nipples like this to make close extensions between valves, fittings, and threaded equipment in gas, steam, water, and general industrial piping systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a rigid, threaded steel extension in SCH 40 black steel piping systems. Common uses include natural gas distribution lines, steam headers, compressed air drops, and hydronic heating supply and return runs. The 11-inch length provides adequate reach for installations that require spacing between two threaded connections or where inline components must be separated. At 2-1/2 inches diameter, this fitting is typically found in larger branch mains or commercial-scale distribution piping rather than residential branch lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness of 0.203 inches for code-compliant black steel piping
• 2500 psi pressure rating suitable for demanding gas and mechanical piping applications
• ANSI B1.20.1 thread standard ensures reliable sealing with compatible fittings and valves
• Operating temperature range of -150 to 200 degrees F covers most commercial HVAC and gas piping conditions
• 1.57-inch thread engagement length on each end for secure, leak-resistant connections
• Welded construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full nipple length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-1/2 inch Schedule 40 black steel threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using pipe wrenches or strap wrenches sized for 2-1/2 inch pipe. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Shut off and depressurize the piping system and verify zero pressure before breaking or making any threaded connections. Gas piping installations must comply with the applicable edition of the International Fuel Gas Code and local authority having jurisdiction requirements.
