Value Collection NG09055 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG09055 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple with NPT threads on both ends, designed for connecting sections of pipe in low- to medium-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems. Measuring 2 inches in nominal diameter and 5.5 inches in length, it meets ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread standards and conforms to ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASTM A733 material and dimensional specifications. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in threaded piping assemblies for water, steam, and air service applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial process piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness and galvanized protection are required. Typical applications include water distribution headers, steam condensate lines, compressed air drops, and general utility piping. The 2-inch nominal size is a common trade size used in main distribution runs, branch takeoffs, and riser connections throughout commercial mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
