Measuring 3\/8 inch in diameter and 5-1\/2 inches in length, this nipple features male NPT threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in gas, water, and steam distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a short, threaded steel extension is needed between two pipe fittings or at equipment connections. Common install scenarios include gas appliance drops, boiler piping, compressed air lines, and water distribution headers. The seamless construction eliminates a weld seam, which reduces potential weak points along the pipe wall and is preferred in pressure-sensitive or vibration-prone runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure service compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction with no weld seam for consistent wall integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch pipe size fits common small-diameter gas and water lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-1\/2 inch length suitable for close-quarter extensions between fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel finish appropriate for gas and non-potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3\/8 inch Schedule 80 threaded black steel piping systems using standard NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where relevant. Always shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or adding threaded pipe connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack female fittings or damage threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSCXNB03055\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692815221042,"sku":"MSCXNB03055","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2c34ad3ce5b9b75ca7de8cc9fd7da953.jpg?v=1788303356","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mscxnb03055-black-pipe-nipple-3-8-in-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
