Value Collection BD-13619 Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 80 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-13619 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Sized at 3/8 inch nominal pipe diameter and 2-5/8 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness, providing greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40 equivalents. It features male NPT threads on both ends (MNPT x MNPT) and welded construction. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple to close gaps between fittings, connect valves, or extend threaded runs in tight spaces.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general industrial piping where a short threaded connector is required. The Schedule 80 wall is specified in applications with elevated pressure ratings or where extra thread engagement depth is needed. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or moderately corrosive environments. Sold individually, it is a straightforward drop-in replacement or new-installation component for any 3/8 inch NPT threaded system.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• MNPT x MNPT threading for direct connection between female-threaded fittings or valves
• Welded steel construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• 2-5/8 inch overall length fits short-reach and close-coupled piping layouts
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size compatible with standard NPT fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for any 3/8 inch female NPT threaded connection requiring a Schedule 80 galvanized steel nipple.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service before threading the nipple into fittings. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve proper engagement without over-torquing the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded components.
