At 3 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this close-threaded nipple provides a short, rigid extension between fittings or fixtures. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it greater pressure-bearing capability compared to Schedule 40, making it well suited for higher-demand service lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians reach for Schedule 80 nipples when the application demands added strength and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is appropriate for use in residential and commercial piping installations where a 3-inch threaded connection is required. Typical applications include gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air headers, water distribution mains, and industrial process piping. The black steel construction makes it a standard choice for gas piping in both residential and light commercial settings where coatings that could react with gas must be avoided. It is sold individually and fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves sized for 3-inch pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating than Schedule 40 equivalents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch nominal pipe diameter suits main distribution and supply trunk applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch body length offers a compact threaded extension between fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction is compatible with natural gas and propane service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPT threads on both ends allow connection to standard threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs approximately 2.79 pounds, consistent with full Schedule 80 wall stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 3-inch Schedule 80 black steel piping systems.

Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. Always shut off and depressurize the line before cutting into or modifying an existing piping system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (threaded both ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.79 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175305\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: XNBS11040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694662746418,"sku":"XNBS11040","price":34.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cb95c7b0e5643be20c1912a08b881dca_0b4e2d67-b448-40b6-af5c-7219db98d780.jpg?v=1788326851","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-xnbs11040-black-pipe-nipple-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
