Technical Specifications
Extra Heavy Construction
Extra heavy steel pipe nipples use a heavier wall than standard Schedule 40 nipples, providing increased wall thickness and mechanical strength for compatible systems where a heavier-wall threaded connection is required. Always verify pressure, temperature, corrosion, code, and media compatibility for the specific piping system before installation.
Available Sizes and Lengths
Online variations range from 1/2" through 6". Available lengths vary by nominal pipe size and may include Close, 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", 4", 4-1/2", 5", 5-1/2", 6", 6-1/2", 7", 7-1/2", 8", 8-1/2", 9", 9-1/2", 10", 10-1/2", 11", 11-1/2", and 12", depending on size.
