Value Collection 0203110 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/8x11 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0203110 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 11 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is threaded on both ends to allow direct connection between fittings, valves, or fixtures. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to both interior and exterior installations. At 0.5 pounds, it is a standard-weight fitting appropriate for low- to medium-pressure water, gas, and air service lines where a Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified.

This nipple is commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. Typical applications include branch connections, riser assemblies, equipment hookups, and close-nipple extensions where a specific length is required rather than a close or short nipple. It is suitable for use with threaded steel, cast iron, and malleable iron fittings that match the 3/8 inch NPT thread specification. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in and final connection phases of a project.

Key Features

• Nominal pipe size of 3/8 inch with NPT threads on both ends for standard fitting compatibility
• 11-inch length provides a fixed, measurable extension between threaded connections
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure and structural requirements for residential and commercial piping
• Galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance for extended service life in wet or outdoor environments
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling and installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 3/8 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in Schedule 40 steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten using appropriately sized pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten, and verify system pressure rating after installation before returning the line to service.
