Value Collection NG03060 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG03060 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple with NPT threads on both ends, sized at 3/8 inch nominal diameter and 6 inches in length. It is used to make short pipe runs or close connections in threaded piping systems. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for use in water, gas, and general-purpose piping applications. Threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, it mates reliably with standard NPT fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and commercial systems where a short, rigid connection between two threaded components is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations including water supply lines, natural gas distribution, compressed air, and steam systems. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets ASTM A53 and ASTM A106 material standards, making it appropriate for pressure-rated service. It is a direct-thread component that drops into any NPT-compatible assembly without modification.
