Value Collection 0203050 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The Value Collection 0203050 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems requiring a short, rigid connection between fittings or components. Measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 5 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and features NPT threads on both ends. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water, air, and general plumbing service lines. Weighing 0.216 pounds, this nipple is a standard trade component installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters across residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is well suited for use in domestic water distribution, compressed air lines, gas service piping, and industrial fluid systems where 3/8 inch threaded connections are specified. Its 5-inch body length makes it appropriate for spanning short distances between valves, unions, tees, elbows, and other threaded fittings. The Schedule 40 wall rating handles typical system pressures found in standard residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack cast fittings or distort the thread engagement.
