Value Collection NG09050 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG09050 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple rated Schedule 40, measuring 2 inches in nominal pipe size and 5 inches in length. It is threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, making it a direct-connect fitting for joining pipe sections, extending runs, or connecting to valves, couplings, and other threaded fittings. This nipple is manufactured from carbon steel per ASTM A53 and ASTM A106, with a hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in water supply, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. The 1.34-pound weight reflects the full-wall Schedule 40 thickness appropriate for pressure service.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where a short threaded connection is needed between components. The 2-inch nominal size is common in main supply lines, boiler connections, and commercial water distribution headers. It is installed using a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. The Schedule 40 wall thickness supports standard working pressure ratings for water and gas service in typical building applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply approved thread sealant compound or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Torque to fitting-manufacturer and applicable code requirements under the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code, as applicable to the service.
