Galvanized steel pipe nipple for tank connections, water supply runs, and general plumbing repair. The pipe is hot-dip galvanized on the inside and the outside, and both ends are threaded with standard right-hand NPT tapered threads so it makes up to any matching iron or galvanized fitting.

• Size: 2" x 6"
• Hot-dip galvanized inside and outside
• Male NPT tapered threads on both ends, right hand
• Threading per ASME B1.20.1
• Dimensions per ASTM A733
• Steel per ASTM A53 Type F or Type E
• Ends cut square, inside burrs removed, outside chamfered
• Manufacturer model: 579-208

Applications: Pressure and storage tank connections, water supply lines, irrigation lines, and general plumbing repairs.

Tip: Two or three wraps of PTFE tape in the direction of the thread, or a brush of pipe dope, will seal a tapered thread joint that is otherwise metal on metal. Tighten to a snug fit plus a turn or two rather than leaning on it - a tapered thread wedges tighter the further it goes, and overtightening is what splits a fitting.
