A close nipple is threaded along its entire length with no unthreaded center section, allowing two fittings to be joined with minimal gap between them. This type of fitting is a standard component in threaded piping systems and is commonly used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas, water, or general-purpose distribution lines. The galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in exposed or moderate-moisture environments. Each unit weighs approximately 0.33 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose nipples in 3\/8-inch diameter see regular use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and water supply lines, and gas distribution manifolds where a tight, compact connection between two threaded female fittings is required. They are also used in industrial and mechanical rooms wherever a short-run threaded connection is needed without additional standoff length. Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit of measure, making them practical for service vans and shop stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-length threading on both ends — no unthreaded center, enabling flush back-to-back fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized steel construction provides zinc-coated corrosion resistance for wet or exposed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged 10 pieces per unit for efficient stocking and service truck inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.33 pounds per piece for easy handling and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting compatible with 3\/8-inch NPT threaded pipe fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the connection. Because close nipples have no wrench flat, use strap wrenches or internal pipe wrenches to avoid damaging the threads during tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close (fully threaded, no unthreaded center)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized (zinc-coated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.33 pounds per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pieces per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\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: B K\/MUELLER INDS(IMPORT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 562-001HN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560524742962,"sku":"562-001HN","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bd0ce5b87c99b892df83eae899f8bdc7.jpg?v=1786453326","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/b-k-562-001hn-3-8-inch-close-galvanized-pipe-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
