Value Collection 03R0304800RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R0304800RTTM is a black steel pipe nipple rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 48 inches in length. Welded construction gives this nipple consistent wall integrity along the full run. The black finish coating provides corrosion resistance for dry indoor applications and is the standard choice for natural gas and propane distribution lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics use Schedule 80 nipples where higher pressure ratings and added wall thickness are required compared to Schedule 40 alternatives. This nipple weighs approximately 2.88 pounds.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial gas supply piping, steam lines, and industrial fluid systems where 3/8 inch threaded connections are required. At 48 inches long, it is suited for spanning longer runs between fittings without adding a coupling. Typical installations include gas branch lines, boiler feed lines, and compressed air distribution where Schedule 80 pressure ratings are specified by the system design or local code.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure-rated applications
• Welded construction for consistent wall uniformity along the full 48 inch length
• Black finish coating standard for gas piping and steam applications
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with threaded ends for standard fittings
• 2.88 pound weight suitable for fixed overhead or inline installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and connectors used in Schedule 80 black iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up connections. Black iron pipe is not suitable for potable water service.
