Value Collection NG03001 Galvanized Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG03001 is a galvanized steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. Measuring 3/8 inch in nominal pipe size and 1 inch in overall length, this close nipple is threaded on both ends to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards. Manufactured from Schedule 40 steel with a galvanized finish, it provides corrosion resistance suited for water, gas, and air service lines. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors use this fitting to make short, rigid connections between threaded components in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a compact, threaded steel connection is required. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, domestic water supply, compressed air, and hydronic heating tie-ins. The galvanized coating makes it a common choice for exposed or damp-area installations. It conforms to multiple domestic and international standards including ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, BS 1387, BS EN 10241, DIN 2440, DIN 2982, DIN 2999, and ISO 7/1, making it suitable for projects with broad specification requirements.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size, 1 inch overall length for compact inline connections
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• Threaded on both ends per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for reliable sealing with fittings and valves
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in wet and damp service environments
• Meets ASTM A53, ASTM A106, ASTM A733, and multiple international standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for 3/8 inch threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with the applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench and follow accepted trade practice for the pipe diameter and service medium.
