Value Collection 0203070 Pipe Nipple 3/8 in 7 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0203070 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. Manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple measures 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 7 inches in length. Both ends are threaded for direct connection to standard NPT fittings, couplings, and valves. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water supply lines, gas distribution, and light industrial fluid systems. At 0.296 pounds, it ships and installs easily as a single-piece replacement or new-installation component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a 3/8-inch Schedule 40 threaded connection is required. Common applications include water supply risers, boiler piping connections, compressed air distribution, and gas line extensions within approved pressure ratings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple when extending or repairing threaded iron pipe systems. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical domestic and light commercial service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up connections. Do not over-torque threaded joints; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjoining fittings to avoid stressing upstream connections.
