Measuring 3\/8 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple connects threaded fittings and valves in close-quarter or straight-run configurations. The black finish coating is standard for natural gas and steam distribution lines where galvanized pipe is not required. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-demand applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems for gas supply lines, steam distribution, and general-purpose black iron pipe assemblies. The 3\/8 inch size is commonly found in branch lines, burner connections, and low-pressure gas piping. At 12 inches in length, it suits moderate-distance runs where a close nipple or short nipple would be insufficient. Plumbers and HVAC technicians installing gas appliances, boilers, and unit heaters regularly use this size and schedule in their roughed-in piping configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity over Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 inch length suits branch runs and appliance connections requiring additional reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish coating compatible with natural gas and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth ends threaded for direct connection into couplings, tees, elbows, and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 80 black iron threaded pipe systems using 3\/8 inch NPT fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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 gas or fluid supply before disassembling or extending any threaded pipe section. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not force-thread fittings that do not engage smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 582-120XSBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695230189874,"sku":"582-120XSBC","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/848ec9f301a673fa30ec1dcce65a4d01.jpg?v=1788332915","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-582-120xsbc-black-pipe-nipple-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
