B38;K Llc 423-030 Poly Sch 40 Nipple 1/2 in X 3 in

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 423-030 is a 1/2-inch by 3-inch Schedule 40 polyethylene nipple designed for use in pipe and tubing assemblies across plumbing, pump, and irrigation applications. Polyethylene construction offers corrosion resistance and lightweight handling compared to metal alternatives. At 0.05 pounds, this short-run nipple is well suited for tight spaces and low-pressure connections. The Schedule 40 rating ensures wall thickness meets standard dimensional requirements for this size class. Plumbers and pump service technicians typically install these as close nipples or extension fittings between threaded components in both residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple fits into pump and plumbing assemblies where a 1/2-inch NPT threaded connection is required with a 3-inch body length. Common applications include water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, sump and pool pump plumbing, and general-purpose pipe runs. The polyethylene material is compatible with cold and ambient-temperature water service. It is sold individually and is well suited for repair work or new installation where a short threaded extension is needed between valves, couplings, or equipment ports.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty plumbing service
• Polyethylene construction resists corrosion and chemical attack in water service
• 1/2-inch nominal pipe size with 3-inch body length for compact connections
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch NPT threaded plumbing assemblies in pump, irrigation, and general plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pump technicians. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound appropriate for polyethylene fittings to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as polyethylene threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
