Sized at 3 inches nominal pipe size and cut to 2-5\/8 inches in length, this close-pattern nipple carries a Schedule 40 wall thickness. Both ends are threaded male NPT (MNPT x MNPT), making it a direct fit for standard female NPT fittings. The welded steel construction is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in wet or exposed service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in, gas distribution piping, water supply lines, and HVAC hydronic systems where a short-length threaded connector is required between two female-threaded fittings or valves. The 3-inch nominal size is common in main supply and return runs, boiler connections, and header assemblies. Its short body length makes it useful in tight-clearance installations where a standard hex nipple or longer close nipple would not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch nominal pipe size with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-5\/8 inch body length suits tight-clearance or close-coupled connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x MNPT threading on both ends for compatibility with standard female NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded steel construction provides structural integrity under system pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized finish resists corrosion in wet, exposed, or outdoor piping environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch Schedule 40 female NPT threaded connections in residential and commercial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack female fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: BD--13247-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722637607218,"sku":"BD--13247-2","price":25.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dc63ae446a3834e1b11772a5e9b7c0aa.jpg?v=1788593832","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bd-13247-2-galvanized-pipe-nipple-3-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
