Value Collection MSCNG03035 Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG03035 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 3-1/2 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness using welded steel construction with a hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. Both ends feature MNPT (Male National Pipe Taper) threads, allowing direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component in pressurized systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed between fittings or at equipment connections. Common applications include water supply lines, gas distribution piping where galvanized steel is permitted by local code, and general mechanical system connections. The 3/8 inch pipe size is frequently used in branch lines and service connections requiring Schedule 40 wall strength.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressurized piping
• Welded steel construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• MNPT X MNPT thread configuration on both ends for straightforward threaded assembly
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size suits branch and service line applications
• 3-1/2 inch length provides a compact close nipple extension between fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting compatible with Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using 3/8 inch MNPT female connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per local plumbing code requirements before assembly. Consult applicable IPC or IFGC provisions to confirm galvanized steel is approved for the intended service type and pressure rating in your jurisdiction.
