Value Collection NG10060 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG10060 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, with threaded ends on both sides. This short-run pipe fitting connects sections of threaded pipe in water supply, gas distribution, and industrial plumbing systems. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for both above-ground and mild-service applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple where a rigid, close-coupled threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment. At 2.35 pounds, it is a solid-duty fitting designed for standard-pressure service.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical rooms, and industrial process piping. Common applications include connecting gate valves, unions, and tees in water lines, as well as low-pressure gas and steam distribution systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. It is also used in irrigation manifolds and fire suppression rough-in work. Any installation requiring a short rigid threaded coupling between NPT-threaded components is a typical fit for this fitting.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service in plumbing and gas systems
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water and moderate-service environments
• Both ends feature NPT threads conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for reliable sealing
• Meets multiple international standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, DIN 2440, and ISO 7/1
• 2.5-inch nominal diameter accommodates high-volume flow in main-line applications
• 6-inch length suits close-coupled connections where space between fittings is limited

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting for Schedule 40 threaded galvanized steel pipe systems using 2.5-inch nominal NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a snug fit without over-torquing the threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free joint.
