1 inch x 2-1/2 inch Galvanized Steel Nipple

1" x 2-1/2" Galvanized Steel Nipple – Threaded for Secure Pipe Transitions

The 1" x 2-1/2" galvanized steel nipple is engineered for use in water, air, oil, and steam piping systems where a short extension or connection between threaded fittings is required. Manufactured from steel and hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A153 standards, this nipple offers superior corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor applications.

Technical Features and Performance Advantages

• Material: Carbon steel body with a hot-dip galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Size: Nominal 1 inch diameter, 2-1/2 inch length
• Thread Type: NPT (National Pipe Thread), male ends on both sides
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for systems rated up to 150 PSI depending on application and installation conditions
• Standard Compliance: Threads conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1; galvanizing meets ASTM A153 specifications

Applications

Galvanized steel nipples of this size are commonly used in commercial and residential systems to connect valves, elbows, tees, or other threaded components in the following applications:

• Potable water distribution lines
• Hydronic heating systems
• Compressed air installations
• General-purpose fluid transfer

Installation Notes

Threaded connections must be made using an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-free joint. Over-tightening can damage threads or distort mating fittings. Always use a properly sized pipe wrench to maintain grip without deforming the pipe wall.

Field Insight

Galvanized steel nipples remain a trusted solution in environments where moisture or mild corrosive exposure is present, offering a durable and economical option for threaded connections.
