Value Collection MSCNG03050 Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCNG03050 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. It measures 3/8 inch in pipe size and 5 inches in length, built to Schedule 40 wall thickness for reliable pressure handling. The welded steel construction with hot-dip galvanizing provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, gas distribution, and general fluid transfer lines. Both ends are male NPT threaded for direct connection to female-threaded fittings, couplings, or valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This nipple fits standard 3/8 inch threaded pipe systems found in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include water supply branch lines, gas appliance connections, compressed air distribution, and auxiliary plumbing runs. The 5 inch length makes it useful for close-quarter offsets where a close nipple or hex nipple is too short. It is suited for use in both new construction and retrofit work where a Schedule 40 galvanized fitting is specified.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Welded steel construction with galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• MNPT X MNPT connection on both ends for direct threaded assembly
• 3/8 inch pipe size fits common residential and light commercial branch lines
• 5 inch body length provides clearance for offset connections in tight spaces

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service type to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; hand-snug plus two to three wrench turns is standard practice for NPT connections, but always follow the applicable code and fitting manufacturer guidelines.
