Pipe nipple for plumbing systems

The Legend Valve 356-196E is a galvanized steel nipple designed to connect two female-threaded fittings in water, gas or air lines. It suits residential, commercial and industrial installers who need a 12-inch length in a 2-1/2-inch nominal diameter. The pipe is supplied new and complies with California Proposition 65 labelling requirements.

Schedule 40 wall thickness defines pressure rating

The single specification that determines fit is the Schedule 40 wall profile, which sets the pressure rating and thread engagement depth for this diameter. Matching the schedule to the mating fittings ensures the joint meets the design pressure of the system. No other wall schedule will provide the same mechanical strength.

Galvanized coating resists corrosion under

Under sustained load the zinc coating protects the steel from rust when the pipe carries water or condensing gases over long periods. The protection remains effective as long as the coating is intact and the fluid chemistry is within normal limits for galvanized pipe. Mechanical threads maintain seal integrity through thermal cycling and vibration.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 inch length mean once the nipple is threaded into fittings?

The 12 inch measurement is the overall length from end to end; the installed distance between fitting faces will be slightly shorter because threads engage inside each connection.

How does the Schedule 40 rating limit the pressure this galvanized nipple can handle?

Schedule 40 defines the wall thickness for 2-1/2 inch pipe, which sets the maximum working pressure according to the applicable piping code for the service temperature and fluid.

What thread type and orientation are needed to mount this nipple?

The nipple has male NPT threads on both ends, so it joins two female-threaded fittings such as couplings, elbows or valves.
