At 2 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this Schedule 160 nipple provides significantly greater wall thickness than standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it appropriate for demanding industrial, mechanical, and commercial plumbing applications. Threads on both ends allow for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves. Plumbers and pipefitters working on high-pressure or high-temperature systems select Schedule 160 nipples where code or engineering specifications call for extra wall strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems handling steam, gas, oil, or water under elevated pressure conditions. The 2-inch diameter and 2.5-inch close-length configuration makes it a practical choice for tight-clearance installations where a longer nipple would not fit. It is commonly installed between valves, flanges, fittings, and mechanical equipment in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and process piping layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 160 heavy-wall construction for elevated pressure ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch nominal pipe diameter with standard NPT threading on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch overall length suits tight-clearance piping runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction compatible with steam, gas, and hydronic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReady to install with no additional machining required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for Schedule 160 piping systems using 2-inch nominal NPT connections in commercial and industrial plumbing and mechanical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing existing fittings or installing this nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten using pipe wrenches sized for 2-inch fittings. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.56 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 588-025S160BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697004249394,"sku":"588-025S160BC","price":71.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/96222a8f023c1ed02cf90222e90c3cf6.jpg?v=1788348374","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-588-025s160bc-black-pipe-nipple-sch-160","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
