Measuring 3\/8 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, it is manufactured from welded steel with a black coating applied to resist rust and corrosion during service. Standard NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to compatible threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as part of gas distribution, steam, or water piping systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness is required by code or design specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for low-pressure gas piping, steam lines, water supply runs, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its compact 3-inch length makes it a common spacer or close coupling piece between fittings in tight installations. The 3\/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard trade assemblies in both new construction and retrofit service work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors stock this size routinely for quick-turnaround repairs and scheduled installations alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for typical plumbing and gas piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack coating applied over welded steel construction to inhibit surface rust during service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, and pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM A53 specification for welded steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nominal diameter by 3 inch length for close-coupling and offset applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe component compatible with standard 3\/8 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 steel piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including the IPC and IFGC where gas service applies. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded component. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Tighten to a snug, wrench-tight fit using pipe wrenches — do not over-torque threaded connections as this can damage threads or fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.136 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291041310\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: 8700137709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345991631154,"sku":"8700137709","price":16.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547445.jpg?v=1782068373","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700137709-black-iron-pipe-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
