1" x 2-1/2" Schedule 40 Black Steel Welded Pipe Nipple (66752)

Item Description

The 1" x 2-1/2" Schedule 40 Black Steel Welded Pipe Nipple is a fitting used primarily in plumbing and construction applications. Its history can be traced back to the evolution of iron and steel manufacturing, which dates many centuries. As construction standards evolved, the need for durable and reliable pipe systems became paramount, leading to the creation of welded pipe nipples which combine strength and flexibility in design. This specific product is made of malleable iron, known for its ability to bend without breaking. The 'Schedule 40' designation indicates a specific thickness of the walls of the pipe, making it suitable for moderate pressure applications. These welded pipes are commonly used in water supply, gas piping, and various industrial applications, where leakage and strength are critical factors. The black steel finish helps to prevent rust, although it is essential to note that this type of pipe is not designed for direct exposure to moisture without additional treatment. Unique features of this product include its malleable nature, allowing for a certain degree of flexibility, and its welded construction that ensures a strong bond at the joints, making it a trustworthy option for various piping needs.
