1/4" x 2" Schedule 40 Galvanized Steel Welded Pipe Nipple

The 1/4" x 2" Schedule 40 Galvanized Steel Welded Pipe Nipple is a vital component in various plumbing and piping systems. Galvanized steel, known for its corrosion resistance due to a protective zinc coating, has long been favored in construction and maintenance applications. Historically, the process of galvanization was developed in the 19th century to improve the durability of steel used in harsh environments. This particular product, categorized under Schedule 40, indicates that it is suitable for medium pressure applications, making it ideal for both residential and commercial use. The welded design of the pipe nipple enhances its strength and reliability, ensuring that it can withstand significant stress without failing. These pipe nipples are typically used to connect two other fittings or pipes, providing a secure, leak-proof joint. Common applications include water supply lines, gas lines, and other systems where a robust, dependable connection is required. The 1/4" diameter makes it an excellent choice for systems that need smaller connections while still maintaining pressure integrity. Key features of this product include: - Corrosion-resistant zinc coating - Welded construction for added strength - Standardized dimensions for compatibility with various fittings - Versatility in application across many industries, including plumbing, HVAC, and industrial settings.
