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

2” x 2-1/2” Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple – Built for Industrial-Grade Connections

The 2” x 2-1/2” Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple is manufactured for dependable performance in pressure-rated piping systems. Fabricated from schedule 40 welded steel pipe and hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A153 specifications, this fitting is designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with both water and air systems in commercial and industrial environments.

This nipple features male National Pipe Thread (NPT) ends on both sides, allowing it to be used in standard threaded piping systems. It is suited for use with galvanized malleable iron, cast iron, or steel fittings and can be installed in a variety of structural and mechanical systems where short-length pipe segments are needed for alignment, extension, or closure.

Key Features

• Material: Schedule 40 carbon steel
• Finish: Hot-dip galvanized for exterior and interior corrosion protection
• Thread Type: NPT threads on both ends, conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Length: 2-1/2 inches overall (measured thread-to-thread)
• Nominal Pipe Size: 2 inches

Typical Applications

• Potable water distribution systems (non-potable in some jurisdictions—verify with local code)
• Fire protection loop assemblies
• Air compressor lines and pneumatic systems
• Heating and cooling water loops (HVAC)
• Plumbing riser extensions or offsets

Installation Notes

This pipe nipple installs using threaded connections and requires standard pipe wrenches for assembly. For a watertight seal, apply a thread-sealing compound or PTFE tape to male threads before installation. Ensure threads are clean and undamaged to prevent leaks. Avoid over-tightening, which may distort mating fittings or damage threads.

Compliance and Standards

• Meets ASTM A53 for steel pipe base material
• Galvanized coating in accordance with ASTM A153
• Threads per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1

Engineered to deliver reliable, long-term service, this galvanized steel nipple is a go-to solution for professionals working on high-demand plumbing and mechanical installations. Its robust construction and proven corrosion resistance make it suitable for environments where dependability and longevity are critical.
