Pipe nipple for air, gas, oil and non-potable water

This Beck pipe nipple connects threaded components in plumbing systems handling air, gases, non-potable water and oils. It is built from welded Grade B steel with a black anodized finish. The fitting suits industrial and commercial pipework where a 2 1/2 inch nominal bore is required.

300 psi at 150 °F maximum operating pressure

The nipple is rated for 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit, which determines whether it matches your system pressure. It also withstands 150 psi steam pressure at 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Select this part only when your design pressure falls within these limits.

2 1/2 inch nominal size

The 2 1/2 inch nominal pipe size provides a 2 15/32 inch bore for flow capacity in medium-duty lines. It handles the listed fluids up to the stated pressure and temperature ratings. Systems needing larger flow area or higher pressure ratings will require a different fitting.

Questions about this item

What does the 300 psi rating mean once this nipple is installed in a real system?

It indicates the maximum operating pressure for air, gases, non-potable water and oils at 150 degrees F; the limit for steam service is 150 psi at 360 degrees F.

How does the NPT thread standard affect what this fitting can connect to in practice?

National Pipe Taper threads on both ends create a pressure-tight seal when mated with matching NPT female ports, limiting use to compatible threaded pipe or equipment.

What physical space and mounting method does this 3-inch nipple need to fit properly?

The welded steel body measures 3 inches end-to-end with a 2 15/32 inch inside diameter, requiring clearance for that length and standard wrench flats for installation.
