2 inch x Close Galvanized Steel Nipple

2" x Close Galvanized Steel Nipple – Fabricated for High-Integrity Threaded Systems

The 2" x Close Galvanized Steel Nipple is engineered for use in threaded steel piping systems where space constraints demand minimal length without compromising thread engagement. Constructed from carbon steel and hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A153 standards, this nipple provides enhanced corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT standards, this fitting is ideal for fluid and air transport systems where secure, rigid connections are required. Commonly used in structural piping, low-pressure water distribution, and mechanical piping layouts, the close design offers zero visible unthreaded pipe length between fittings.

Key Advantages for Professional Applications

• Material: Schedule 40 carbon steel with hot-dip galvanized coating
• Thread Type: Male NPT x Male NPT
• Nominal Size: 2" diameter x close length (threads meet with no exposed nipple barrel)
• Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized coating provides long-term protection in wet or exposed environments
• Thread Integrity: Machined to standard tolerances to ensure leak-resistant connections under static or dynamic load

Installation Notes

For optimal sealing, apply pipe joint compound or PTFE thread seal tape to male threads before installation. A pipe wrench should be used to secure the nipple in place; over-torquing should be avoided to prevent thread galling or distortion.

Application Areas

• Steel water and air lines
• Low-pressure gas systems (verify code compliance)
• Structural pipe assemblies
• Mechanical equipment tie-ins

Compliance & Standards

This nipple is manufactured in accordance with ASTM A733 for threaded steel pipe nipples and meets applicable pressure and temperature specifications for Schedule 40 galvanized piping in building and industrial applications.

Choosing a 2" x Close Galvanized Steel Nipple ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and code-ready compliance for demanding threaded installations. Ideal for tight-space transitions and rigid inline connections where full-thread engagement is required for secure operation over time.
