Value Collection NG09001 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40 2x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG09001 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel threaded pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 2 inches in length. It is designed for use in pressurized piping systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is required between fittings, valves, or equipment. Constructed from steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this nipple resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor installations. Both ends are threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring leak-free engagement with standard NPT fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in water supply, gas distribution, and mechanical piping assemblies. It weighs 0.47 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and HVAC hydronic systems where a close or short nipple connection is needed. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets the strength requirements of most standard-pressure applications. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for wet or damp environments, including exposed utility piping. It is commonly used between threaded fittings such as elbows, tees, couplings, and valves in both new construction and retrofit work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use threaded nipple compatible with any 2-inch NPT threaded piping system using Schedule 40 galvanized steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements when used in gas service. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. Do not over-tighten, as excessive torque can crack fittings or distort threads.
