Measuring 3\/8 inch in diameter and 7 inches in length, this nipple provides a rigid, close-coupled connection between fittings, valves, and other threaded components. The black iron finish is standard for gas distribution lines and non-corrosive fluid piping. Schedule 80 wall thickness delivers higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of threaded iron pipe systems in both residential and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is appropriate for use in natural gas, propane, steam, air, and water distribution systems where threaded black iron pipe is specified. The 3\/8 inch diameter fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves. Typical install scenarios include gas supply drops to appliances, compressed air branch lines, and heating system piping. It is commonly used in residential gas piping, boiler rooms, and light commercial mechanical systems where a short, rigid threaded section is needed between two components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nominal diameter with standard NPT threads for compatibility with iron pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7 inch length suits close-coupled and intermediate-reach connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack iron finish standard for gas and steam service piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually for single-point repair or replacement use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use component for threaded black iron pipe systems using 3\/8 inch NPT fittings and Schedule 80 pipe assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate for the service. Shut off gas or fluid supply and verify zero pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus additional turns using a pipe wrench. Do not over-tighten threaded iron connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.42 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0303070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689344631090,"sku":"0303070","price":28.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c80faa8315e747ab6b7c9be7aebae947.jpg?v=1788257949","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-0303070-black-pipe-nipple-3-8-in-schedule-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
