Value Collection NG03120 Galvanized Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NG03120 is a Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, with threaded ends on both sides. This nipple serves as a short threaded connector used to join pipe sections, fittings, valves, or equipment in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply and low-pressure fluid applications. It weighs 0.54 pounds and conforms to multiple domestic and international standards, making it a reliable choice for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working across residential and light commercial installations.

This pipe nipple is used in water supply lines, steam systems, and gas distribution piping where a Schedule 40 wall thickness is specified. The 3/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard fittings in residential and light commercial applications, including boiler connections, fixture supply rough-in, and equipment hookups. Plumbers and pipefitters install this part anywhere a short threaded steel connector is required between two female-threaded fittings or valves.
