Value Collection 03R0307200RTTM Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03R0307200RTTM is a Schedule 80 welded black steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 72 inches in length. Built to the heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80, this nipple delivers increased pressure capacity and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 equivalents. The black finish is the standard mill coating applied to carbon steel pipe, appropriate for gas, steam, air, and water applications where corrosion protection from external coatings is not required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this nipple as a threaded extension between fittings, valves, and fixtures in piping runs.

This pipe nipple suits residential and commercial piping systems where a full-length 72-inch threaded steel nipple is required. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and general industrial piping. The 72-inch length makes it useful for spanning longer distances between fittings without additional couplings. Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher-pressure service conditions than standard Schedule 40 pipe.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating over Schedule 40
• Welded construction for consistent wall integrity along the full length
• Black mill finish suitable for gas, steam, air, and non-potable water service
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• 72-inch length reduces the need for couplings in longer piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 80 black steel pipe nipple compatible with 3/8 inch fittings, valves, and couplings in gas, steam, air, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line or removing any fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or thread tape rated for the service medium being carried. Inspect threads on both the nipple and mating fittings before assembly to avoid cross-threading or leaks.
