Reducing Nipple Opal 2"×1" galvanized 0.434 kg model 245-36V

Galvanized reducing nipple Opal 2"×1" model 245-36V is a threaded pipe fitting designed to join pipes of different nominal diameters, providing a secure transition between a 2-inch and a 1-inch line. Manufactured from galvanized steel, this reducing nipple offers mechanical strength and a corrosion-resistant surface suitable for plumbing, heating and light industrial installations. The unit weight is approximately 0.434 kg, which reflects its solid metal construction and suitability for threaded connections in systems that require durable metal fittings.

Advantages

The galvanized finish provides enhanced protection against rust and corrosion compared with uncoated steel, extending service life in moist or indoor environments. Threaded ends enable straightforward installation without welding, allowing quick assembly or replacement. Its compact reducing design minimizes flow disturbance while enabling reliable mechanical connection between differing pipe sizes. The steel construction ensures mechanical robustness under typical residential and commercial pressure conditions.

Suitable for

• Joining a 2" pipe to a 1" pipe in plumbing systems
• Connections in heating and radiator circuits
• Repair or retrofit work in water supply and drainage lines
• Light industrial piping where corrosion resistance is required

Key specifications

• Material: galvanized steel
• Connection type: threaded male ends
• Nominal sizes: 2" to 1" reduction
• Weight: approximately 0.434 kg
• Surface treatment: zinc galvanization for corrosion protection

How to use

Prepare the mating threaded pipe ends by cleaning threads and removing debris or old sealant. Apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or pipe dope compatible with the media to be conveyed. Hand-start the nipple into the larger diameter fitting, then tighten with a suitable wrench until a secure, leak-free joint is achieved; avoid excessive torque that could damage threads. For sealed systems, pressure-test the assembly according to applicable local codes and standards after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the reducing nipple in systems compatible with galvanized steel; avoid use with highly corrosive chemicals or in marine environments without additional protection. When installing in potable water systems, confirm local regulations regarding galvanized materials. Periodic inspection for corrosion or thread wear is recommended in long-term installations.
