Plumbing Installers and Maintenance Crews

The fitting serves technicians who need a short, corrosion-resistant connection for Schedule 40 piping systems carrying air, gas, oil, steam or water. It is not intended for applications that require higher pressure ratings, larger diameters or different thread standards.

150 PSI Working Pressure Headroom

At 150 psi and 150 degrees Fahrenheit the nipple handles typical low-pressure utility lines with margin for normal pressure spikes. Systems operating above this pressure or temperature will exceed the rated capacity and require a heavier schedule or alternative material.

Questions about this item

What thread size and schedule must the female fitting have to accept the 2-1/2" MNPT end on this nipple?

The male NPT thread is 2-1/2 inches and the nipple is Schedule 40, so the mating female fitting must be a 2-1/2" NPT Schedule 40 coupling or port.

Will the 2-7/8" outside diameter and 2-15/32" inside diameter match my existing Schedule 40 galvanized pipe run?

Yes, the OD and ID follow standard Schedule 40 dimensions for 2-1/2" nominal pipe, so it will align with other Schedule 40 galvanized sections.

How can I confirm the joint is holding the rated 150 psi at 150 °F after installation?

Pressurise the system to working pressure and inspect the threaded joint for leaks; a properly sealed Schedule 40 nipple will hold 150 psi at 150 °F without weeping.
