Value Collection 02L20720 Pipe Nipple 2in X 72in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02L20720 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple sized at 2 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Both ends are threaded for direct connection to standard pipe fittings, couplings, or valves. Weighing 36.5 pounds, this full-length nipple handles applications requiring a continuous threaded pipe run without field cutting or threading. It is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and structural rigidity are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in both commercial and residential mechanical rooms.

This nipple is used in water distribution, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, and gas supply piping where a long, rigid threaded section is needed. The 72-inch length accommodates runs between widely spaced fittings or serves as a structural pipe column in custom assemblies. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical domestic and light commercial service. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal pipe diameter, Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• 72-inch overall length supports long runs without field threading
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and couplings
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, and humid environments
• 36.5-pound unit weight indicates full-length solid steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe and standard threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before making any threaded connections. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Support the 72-inch length with proper pipe hangers at intervals specified by code to prevent sag or stress on connected fittings.
