Msi Products Inc A287004012.0 Galvanized Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The MSI PRODUCTS INC A287004012.0 is a hot-dip galvanized carbon steel pipe nipple threaded on both ends, measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Manufactured from ASTM A53 Grade B welded steel pipe to Schedule 40 wall thickness, it is rated for working pressures from 700 to 3000 psi. The nipple serves as a short, rigid extension between two female-threaded fittings in pressurized piping systems. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1 standards and the nipple also conforms to ASTM A733 for quality and dimensional consistency. Full lot traceability is maintained, with material test reports available upon request.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping installations where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. The hot-dip galvanized finish makes it appropriate for outdoor, underground, or otherwise demanding environments where bare steel would be vulnerable to oxidation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in water supply, gas distribution, compressed air, and general fluid conveyance systems operating within its rated pressure range.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• ASTM A53 Grade B welded steel construction at Schedule 40 wall thickness
• Threads machined to ASME B1.20.1 for reliable makeup with standard female fittings
• ASTM A733 compliance ensures dimensional and quality consistency
• Rated 700 to 3000 psi working pressure
• Full lot traceability with material test reports available upon request

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2.5-inch NPT female-threaded pipe fittings and valves in Schedule 40 piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal without over-stressing the fitting. Do not install in systems or fluid services that exceed the rated pressure range of this nipple.
