The hot-dip galvanized zinc coating resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor installations. Male NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment. These nipples are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors as part of threaded pipe assemblies in a wide range of commercial and residential applications. Packaged in quantities of 10, they are a practical stock item for service trucks and supply rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and mechanical piping, fire protection ancillary lines, and gas distribution systems where galvanized steel pipe is code-acceptable. The 3\/8-inch nominal pipe size and 3-inch close length fits tight-clearance rough-in locations and branch takeoffs where a short extension between two threaded components is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch nominal pipe size with male NPT threads on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch overall length suits tight-clearance rough-in and branch connection applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 10-piece package for efficient stocking and service use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction supports standard threaded pipe system pressure ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-install nipple compatible with 3\/8-inch female-threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and equipment connections in galvanized steel threaded pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service type to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a properly sized pipe wrench and follow standard trade practice for the pipe size.\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 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPT both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized (zinc)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.42 pounds\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 Industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 562-030HN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564216451378,"sku":"562-030HN","price":17.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3a06813ce44e4d3fc3835e0cb7c9d04b.jpg?v=1786514371","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/b-k-mueller-562-030hn-galvanized-pipe-nipple-3-8x3in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
