Value Collection NG10040 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 2-1/2 X 4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG10040 is a galvanized Schedule 40 steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple is threaded on both ends to NPT standards per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, allowing direct connection between fittings, valves, and equipment. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both above-ground and exposed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in commercial and residential applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and gas piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. Its 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size makes it appropriate for larger-diameter branch and main runs in commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. The threaded-both-ends configuration allows fast in-line installation without welding or grooving equipment, making it a practical choice for retrofit and service work where quick assembly is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-1/2 inch NPT threaded plumbing and mechanical piping systems using Schedule 40 galvanized steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and drain standing water before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns appropriate for the pipe size per standard practice. Verify that the completed assembly complies with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) before restoring pressure.
