Value Brand 2-1/2" MNPT x 3" TBE Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

SKU CH-4J69-Y0DSR

Galvanized steel pipe nipple with 2-1/2" MNPT x 3" TBE threads for air, gas and potable water systems

  • Galvanized coating resists corrosion for longer service life
  • Schedule 40 wall handles 300 psi at 150 °F for demanding systems
  • Welded steel construction delivers reliable strength under pressure
  • Male NPT threads connect quickly to standard fittings
  • Suitable for air, gases and potable water applications

Application Scope

This galvanized steel pipe nipple connects Schedule 40 piping in air, gas and potable-water systems. The 2-1/2 inch nominal size and 3 inch overall length suit standard plumbing layouts that require a short, straight transition between female-threaded components.

Pressure And Temperature Limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees F and a maximum steam pressure of 150 psi at 350 degrees F. Installations that exceed either pressure or temperature threshold will need a higher-rated nipple or an alternative material.

Connection Compatibility

The nipple provides a 2-1/2 inch male NPT thread on one end and a tapered butt end on the other, so it only joins to a matching female NPT fitting on the threaded side. Builders who need male threads on both ends or a different nominal diameter cannot use this part.

Questions about this item

What length and thread style does this nipple have for my 2-1/2 inch Schedule 40 piping?

It measures 3 inches overall with male NPT threads on both ends, matching Schedule 40 dimensions for 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe.

How much pressure can the galvanized steel handle in a hot water system at 150 °F?

The fitting is rated for 300 psi at 150 °F, which covers typical hot-water heating loops and potable water lines.

Does the Schedule 40 rating limit the steam pressure I can run through it?

Yes, steam service is capped at 150 psi at 350 °F, lower than the water rating, so size your boiler relief valve accordingly.
