Value Collection NG02025 Pipe Nipple 1/4 in 2.5 in Sched 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG02025 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 1/4 inch in pipe size and 2.5 inches in overall length. Both ends are threaded for standard NPT connections, allowing fast assembly into fittings, valves, or manifolds. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and gas distribution systems. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable component used regularly by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both new construction and repair work.

This nipple fits into standard 1/4 inch threaded pipe systems found in residential and light commercial installations. Common applications include gas supply branch lines, compressed air distribution, water service connections, and HVAC refrigerant line support assemblies. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service typical in building mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component as part of threaded pipe runs where a short close nipple or extension between fittings is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate-pressure service
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Threaded on both ends for standard NPT connections
• 1/4 inch pipe size fits widely available fittings, valves, and couplings
• Compact 2.5 inch length suitable for tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off the water, gas, or air supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
