Value Collection 03R0306000RTTM Black Pipe Nipple 3/8x60 Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R0306000RTTM is a black steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inches in diameter and 60 inches in length, manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness using a welded construction method. The black finish coating provides a standard protective layer suitable for general-purpose piping applications. Schedule 80 wall thickness offers greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making this nipple appropriate for demanding installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters select this type of fitting for gas distribution, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems where threaded steel connections are required.

This pipe nipple is designed for use in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and industrial fluid handling systems where a 3/8 inch threaded steel connection is required. The 60 inch length suits runs that need an extended rigid steel section between fittings without an intermediate coupling. Common install scenarios include gas branch lines, compressed air drops, and hydronic piping where black steel is code-acceptable or code-required. The welded construction meets standard expectations for threaded black iron pipe assemblies in these applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Welded construction consistent with standard black iron pipe specifications
• Black finish coating for general corrosion resistance in dry or low-humidity environments
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading for compatibility with black iron fittings
• 60 inch length reduces the number of couplings needed on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock black steel pipe nipple for 3/8 inch Schedule 80 threaded piping systems using NPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as relevant to the service. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service prior to making up threaded connections. Do not use this nipple in wet or buried applications without additional protective coating or wrapping approved for that service.
