Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple provides a reliable, pressure-rated connection in black steel pipe assemblies. At 3 inches in length with an 8-inch nominal diameter, it suits short-run connections between grooved-end couplings and beveled-end flanges or weld fittings. The operating temperature range of -200 to 150 degrees F makes it suitable for a broad range of fluid handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in mechanical, fire protection, and process piping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in commercial and industrial piping installations where black Schedule 40 steel pipe is specified. The grooved end accepts standard grooved mechanical couplings, while the beveled end is prepared for butt-weld or flange connections. Typical applications include HVAC hydronic systems, fire suppression mains, and general industrial fluid conveyance. It is suited for systems operating within the rated temperature range and where SCH 40 wall thickness meets the design pressure requirements of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless steel construction meets SCH 40 wall thickness requirements for pressure-rated service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne grooved end accepts standard mechanical grooved couplings without additional machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne beveled end is weld-ready for butt-weld or compatible flange connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish is standard for non-potable and mechanical piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for service from -200 to 150 degrees F across a wide range of fluid handling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 3-inch body length minimizes clearance requirements in tight riser and header configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for black Schedule 40 steel pipe systems using grooved mechanical coupling assemblies on one end and butt-weld or beveled-end connections on the other, in 8-inch nominal pipe size configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. De-pressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any pipe nipple. The grooved end requires a properly sized mechanical coupling and gasket seated to the manufacturer groove specification. The beveled end should be inspected for weld-prep cleanliness before welding or flange make-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\/Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grooved\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beveled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCH 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -200 to 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.815 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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 57400GBS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951886401842,"sku":"57400GBS","price":74.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2adb68473b5c108879f04f69963db3b7_9b494776-160a-49d2-8ab6-b3beeb9fa465.jpg?v=1791739964","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-57400gbs-pipe-nipple-sch-40-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
