It serves as a short threaded connector in piping systems where corrosion resistance and strength are required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this nipple to join or extend threaded pipe runs in fluid and gas distribution systems. The 304\/304L dual-certified material grade accommodates both standard and low-carbon stainless requirements, making it suitable for welded or threaded fabrication environments where heat-affected zones may be a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, compressed air distribution, and light industrial process piping. Schedule 40 sizing ensures compatibility with standard NPT fittings and valves commonly found in these applications. It is particularly well-suited for installations in wet or corrosive environments where carbon steel fittings would be prone to rust or chemical attack, such as coastal HVAC systems, water treatment equipment, and food-service plumbing rough-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 304\/304L dual-certified stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements for standard 3\/8 inch pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-carbon 304L designation provides compatibility with welded fabrication applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and classification compliance\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 for 3\/8 inch Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on stainless fittings, as galling can occur between stainless mating surfaces.\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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 \/ 304L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.64 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4006-6000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539172131122,"sku":"4006-6000","price":306.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_a034540e-6177-48bd-87a4-388e9607072d.jpg?v=1785835851","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-4006-6000-stainless-steel-pipe-nipple-3-8-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
