Value Collection 0303110 Black Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0303110 is a Schedule 80 black pipe nipple designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems where higher wall thickness and pressure resistance are required. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 11 inches in length, this nipple is threaded on both ends for straightforward connection to standard pipe fittings. The black finish indicates an uncoated, mill-standard carbon steel surface, suited for gas lines, steam systems, and general-purpose fluid transport. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component during rough-in or repair work on iron piping systems.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving natural gas, propane, steam, air, and water distribution lines where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. The 3/8 inch pipe size makes it a common choice in branch lines, appliance connections, and retrofit installations where existing Schedule 80 iron pipe is present. It ships as a single unit and is compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings of the same pipe size.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends
• 11 inch length suitable for offsetting connections or spanning short gaps
• Black finish carbon steel construction for gas, steam, air, and water service
• Weighs 0.66 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 iron pipe systems using standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where required. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or damage threads.
