Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe segments used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in piping assemblies. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install nipples like this as part of rough-in and service work on both new construction and retrofit projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection rough-in, and industrial piping where a 3\/8 inch threaded connection is required. The 3-inch length makes it well suited for close-quarter connections where a longer nipple or union would not fit. Sold in a package of 25 units, it is a practical stocking item for supply houses and contractor vans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized coating for corrosion and rust resistance in wet or outdoor service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 inch overall length for short-run connections and tight-space installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 25 for efficient jobsite restocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 3\/8 inch pipe systems including plumbing, hydronic heating, gas, and general mechanical piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard practice. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not over-torque galvanized fittings, as excessive force can crack the zinc coating and compromise corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700148409\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANVIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524351983922,"sku":"8700148409","price":81.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d00080a887b785bb200fd066fa96ac20_6b35fefb-b3bc-40db-b460-537cb832ff64.jpg?v=1785446764","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anvil-international-inc-8700148409-galvanized-pipe-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
