Measuring 3\/8 inch in diameter and 5-1\/2 inches in length, this close-tolerance nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other pipe components. Weighing 0.27 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight spaces where a short, rigid connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of low-pressure gas, steam, water, and general-purpose piping systems that call for black iron or black steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis black steel nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where threaded black iron pipe is the specified material. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, steam heating systems, and industrial process piping. The 3\/8 inch size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same nominal diameter, making it a straightforward replacement or extension component in existing threaded systems. It is not intended for use in potable water supply lines where corrosion resistance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction suitable for gas, steam, and mechanical piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT-compatible threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-1\/2 inch length provides a short rigid extension between threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.27 pounds for easy handling and installation in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport-sourced fitting meeting standard pipe nipple dimensional requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded black steel pipe systems using 3\/8 inch nominal NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas piping, or IPC requirements for mechanical systems. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch x 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.27 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830011607\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233651786034,"sku":"0830011607","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631642.jpg?v=1780105806","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-830011607-black-steel-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
