Value Collection NG09040 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40 2x4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG09040 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, with male NPT threads on both ends conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards. The hot-dip galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for both above-ground and certain below-grade applications. Weighing approximately 1.08 pounds, this nipple is a standard close-coupled fitting used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters when connecting valves, fittings, and equipment in low- to medium-pressure piping runs.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical room piping where Schedule 40 galvanized steel is the specified material. It threads directly into standard female NPT fittings and is commonly used to extend pipe runs, connect flanges, or transition between components in water supply, steam, and compressed-air systems. Its 2-inch nominal diameter makes it a common size in main distribution lines and equipment connections.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel piping systems using 2-inch nominal NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any nipple. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
