Value Collection NG03100 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40 3/8x10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG03100 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 10 inches in length, with threaded ends on both sides. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, gas, and general plumbing service lines. The threaded ends conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards for straight pipe threads, ensuring reliable, leak-resistant connections to standard fittings and valves. This nipple is a common stock item for plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on residential and light commercial piping systems.

This pipe nipple is used in water supply lines, gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and general industrial fluid transport applications. Its 3/8-inch size makes it well suited for branch lines, fixture connections, and close-quarter runs where a pre-threaded, fixed-length nipple is required. The 10-inch length accommodates installations that need a short extension between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on the fluid service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack fittings or distort threads.
