Value Collection MSCXNB03060 Black Pipe Nipple Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCXNB03060 is a Schedule 80 seamless black pipe nipple sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 6 inches long. This nipple is manufactured without a weld seam, giving it greater wall thickness and pressure resistance than standard welded pipe. It connects two threaded fittings or acts as a close extension in a run of threaded black iron pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these nipples in gas distribution, compressed air, and steam or hydronic heating systems where Schedule 80 wall strength is required by code or system design.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where threaded black iron pipe is the specified material. Typical install scenarios include natural gas branch lines, propane supply runs, compressed air drops, and low-pressure steam or hot water heating systems. Both ends are male NPT threaded for direct connection to couplings, tees, elbows, or other standard NPT fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• Seamless construction eliminates weld seam vulnerability
• Black finish suitable for gas and hydronic piping applications
• MNPT x MNPT ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings
• 3/8 inch diameter by 6 inch length for precise run extensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded black iron pipe systems using 3/8 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable mechanical code for the system type. Shut off the gas or compressed air supply and depressurize the line completely before threading any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
