Value Collection NG09120 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2in 12in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG09120 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 2 inches in pipe size and 12 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to allow direct connection between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both above-ground and certain below-grade applications. At 3.42 pounds, it is a solid, full-size nipple suitable for moderate- to high-pressure service in water, air, and steam lines where galvanized steel is the specified material.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, mechanical room piping, gas distribution headers, HVAC water supply and return lines, and general industrial pipe runs. It is well suited for installations requiring a longer close nipple or a specific standoff distance between two threaded fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component where a 2-inch galvanized threaded connection is called out in the design or on the service ticket.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal pipe size with full Schedule 40 wall thickness for pressure-rated service
• 12-inch body length provides clearance and offset in tight mechanical arrangements
• Threaded on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for standard NPT fitment
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Meets multiple standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and ISO 7/1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-construction nipple for 2-inch galvanized pipe systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness and ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread form are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's specification using a pipe wrench. Verify the galvanized finish is acceptable for the fluid being conveyed, as galvanized steel is not suitable for all chemical or potable-water applications in every jurisdiction.
