Value Collection 0203090 Pipe Nipple 3/8 in 9 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0203090 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 9 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends for direct connection between fittings, valves, or threaded ports. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for water supply and general-purpose piping. At 0.428 pounds, it is a standard close-tolerance fitting for use wherever a short, fixed-length threaded extension is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications including water distribution lines, gas supply piping where code permits galvanized fittings, and mechanical room pipe runs. Its 3/8 inch nominal size fits standard 3/8 inch NPT fittings and valves. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets typical pressure requirements for low- to medium-pressure water and air service lines. It is commonly used when extending or connecting threaded pipe segments in tight spaces where a 9-inch rigid section is appropriate.
