Value Collection MSCNB03050 Black Pipe Nipple 3/8x5 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB03050 is a Schedule 40 black steel pipe nipple used to connect threaded pipe sections in gas, water, and mechanical piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length, it features male NPT threads on both ends for straightforward inline connections. Welded steel construction gives it the wall thickness and structural integrity required for general-purpose plumbing and gas distribution applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these nipples when extending or joining threaded pipe runs in commercial and residential systems.

This nipple fits standard 3/8-inch threaded pipe applications across residential plumbing, light commercial piping, and mechanical systems. It is suited for use in gas supply lines, water distribution, compressed air, and similar fluid-handling configurations where Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is commonly required in natural gas and propane distribution systems per local codes.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping applications
• Welded steel construction for consistent dimensional integrity
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct inline use
• Black finish suitable for gas distribution and non-potable systems
• 3/8 inch diameter by 5 inch length for precise close-nipple spacing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 3/8-inch Schedule 40 threaded steel pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage threads or crack fittings.
