Value Collection BD--13249-3 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2in X 4.5in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--13249-3 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are required. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 2 inches in pipe size and 4-1/2 inches in length. Both ends are threaded Male NPT (MNPT x MNPT), allowing direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe couplings. The welded steel construction with galvanized finish makes it suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire suppression piping, and general mechanical piping assemblies. The 2-inch diameter suits main branch lines and equipment connections where moderate flow capacity is needed. The 4-1/2-inch length accommodates standard spacing between fittings in close-quarter installations. Welded construction meets standard Schedule 40 wall requirements for typical working pressures found in these systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard working pressure service
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• MNPT x MNPT thread configuration for direct connection to female-threaded fittings
• Welded pipe construction for consistent wall integrity along the full length
• 2-inch pipe size suits main branch and equipment connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch female NPT threaded connections in Schedule 40 galvanized piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing upstream joints.
