Midland Industries 59213V Seamless Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 59213V is a seamless Schedule 80 steel pipe nipple with grooved ends on both sides. It measures 12 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter, making it a heavy-duty fitting for demanding piping applications. Constructed from black steel, it meets ANSI B1.20.1 dimension standards. This nipple is rated for temperatures from -200 degrees F to 150 degrees F, covering a wide range of mechanical and fire protection system conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fire suppression contractors typically install fittings of this type in commercial and industrial piping systems.

This nipple is intended for use in systems requiring grooved-end connections on both sides, eliminating the need for threading on site. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for higher-pressure piping runs in HVAC hydronic systems, fire sprinkler mains, and industrial process piping. The black steel finish and seamless construction are standard for commercial mechanical rooms and wet pipe fire suppression layouts where durability under sustained load is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 extra heavy wall construction for higher-pressure applications
• Seamless steel body with no weld seam for consistent wall integrity
• Grooved ends on both sides compatible with standard grooved coupling systems
• Meets ANSI B1.20.1 dimension standards
• Wide temperature range: -200 degrees F to 150 degrees F
• Black steel finish standard for commercial mechanical and fire suppression piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for grooved piping systems using 3-inch Schedule 80 seamless black steel pipe nipples in commercial mechanical, hydronic, or fire suppression applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA standards for fire suppression or ASME B31.9 for building services piping. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any nipple or coupling. Use manufacturer-approved grooved couplings and gaskets rated for the intended service pressure and fluid type. Inspect the grooved ends for damage before assembly to ensure a proper seal.
