Value Collection 0220044 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0220044 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 2 inches in pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service. Both ends are threaded for direct connection to fittings, valves, or other threaded pipe sections. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for water supply lines, gas distribution, and general fluid transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of rough-in and repair work.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 2-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel connection is required. Common applications include water distribution mains, fire protection branch lines, steam systems, and compressed air headers. The galvanized finish helps resist rust in exposed or mildly corrosive environments. It is also used in replacement and repair scenarios where an existing nipple has corroded or failed.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal pipe size with 4.5-inch overall length
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings or valves
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Suitable for water, gas, steam, and compressed air service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting compatible with standard 2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems following ANSI and ASME B1.20.1 thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque; use a pipe wrench sized for 2-inch pipe and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit.
