Southland 10503 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/4 X 2-1/2 Inch Sch 40

Product Description

The SOUTHLAND 10503 is a hot-dip galvanized welded steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and compliant with ASTM A53 standards, this nipple measures 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. The hot-dip galvanizing process provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general utility piping. Each unit is individually shrink-wrapped to protect threads during storage and transport. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial threaded pipe assemblies where a short close-to-close or close-to-shoulder connection is required. Common applications include water supply risers, gas drop lines, boiler piping, compressed air headers, and general mechanical room rough-in work. The 3/4-inch nominal size is one of the most frequently specified sizes in residential and small-commercial plumbing systems. Sold individually, it integrates directly into standard NPT threaded systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-torque; inspect threads for damage before installation.
