Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG09060 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel threaded pipe nipple measuring 2 inches in diameter by 6 inches in length. It is designed for use in plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems where a short, pre-threaded pipe section is needed to connect fittings, valves, or equipment. Manufactured from steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance, this nipple meets multiple domestic and international standards including ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A53, ASTM A106, and ASTM A733. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, gas distribution lines, steam and water supply piping, and mechanical room applications. The threaded ends conform to NPT thread standards per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, allowing straightforward integration with standard pipe fittings across a wide range of systems. It is also recognized under international standards including BS 1387, BS EN 10241, DIN 2440, DIN 2982, DIN 2999, and ISO 7/1, making it appropriate for projects with varied specification requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water, gas, or steam supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
