Value Collection MSCNB03100 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNB03100 is a black steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, this Schedule 40 nipple is welded construction with male NPT threads on both ends. The black finish is standard for gas service and general-purpose applications where galvanized or stainless steel is not required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions typical of Schedule 40 systems.

This nipple fits standard 3/8 inch threaded pipe systems and is suited for residential and light commercial installations including gas supply lines, water distribution, steam, air, and hydronic heating piping. The 10 inch length makes it useful for close-clearance installations where longer close nipples or shorter hex nipples are not practical. It ships as a single piece and is appropriate for new construction and repair work wherever a 3/8 inch Schedule 40 black steel threaded fitting is called for.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure service in threaded steel pipe systems
• Welded construction provides consistent wall integrity along the full 10 inch body
• Male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and female-threaded pipe
• Black finish is standard for gas service and general industrial pipe applications
• 3/8 inch diameter fits widely available Schedule 40 fittings and valves

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including IPC and IFGC where gas service is involved. Shut off supply pressure and verify the line is fully depressurized before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or strip threads.
