Measuring 3\/8 inch outside diameter and 3 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness, which provides greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40. Construction is seamless, meeting ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards. Threads are cut to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications for reliable sealing with compatible fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these nipples in both new construction and repair applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations involving black iron gas lines, steam heating systems, water distribution, and compressed air runs. The 3\/8 inch thread size fits standard NPT fittings and valves. Its lead-free construction makes it appropriate for installations where lead-free compliance is required by local code. The Schedule 80 wall provides added durability in applications where higher working pressures or mechanical stress are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction per ASTM A106 and ASTM A53 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPT threads to ANSI B1.20.1 and ASME B1.20.1 specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free steel material for code-compliant installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch diameter by 3 inch length for common short-run connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with standard 3\/8 inch NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe connections in black iron piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1, ASME B1.20.1, ASTM A106, ASTM A53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: XNB03030\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718322061618,"sku":"XNB03030","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/440973eb57e4de83bf9f1aadbdbf76b2.jpg?v=1788552044","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-xnb03030-black-steel-pipe-nipple-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
