  • Galvanized coating resists corrosion on air, gas and oil lines
  • Schedule 40 wall rated for 150 psi at 150 °F
  • Continuous weld construction ensures leak-free strength
  • 12-inch length with 3-inch male NPT threads on both ends

3-inch Schedule 40 Galvanized Steel Nipple

This 12-inch pipe nipple is manufactured from welded Schedule 40 galvanized steel for use with air, gas, non-potable water, oil and steam. It features male NPT threads on one end and a threaded-bevel end on the other, rated for 150 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The fitting is made in the USA from Grade A steel.

Replaces Damaged or Short Threaded Pipe Sections

Install this nipple when an existing 3-inch Schedule 40 connection has corroded, cracked or is too short to join two female-threaded components. The galvanized coating resists rust in non-potable fluid lines, and the continuous weld construction handles the rated pressure without leakage. It is not intended for potable water systems or press-fit piping methods.

Verify Thread Size, Schedule and Media Compatibility

Confirm that your system uses 3-inch nominal pipe size with Schedule 40 wall thickness and male NPT threads before ordering. Ensure the working pressure and temperature stay within the 150 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit limit. This nipple is restricted from sale in certain states, so check local plumbing codes for acceptance.

Questions about this item

What thread size and overall length does the 3" galvanized steel nipple need to fit?

The nipple has 3-inch male NPT threads on one end and an overall length of 12 inches, requiring a matching female NPT fitting for connection.

How is the Schedule 40 nipple installed, and what common mistake should be avoided?

Apply pipe-thread sealant or tape to the male NPT threads, then tighten into a female NPT fitting; do not overtighten, as excessive force can crack the galvanized coating or distort the threads.

When will the galvanized coating need inspection or the nipple replacement?

Inspect the galvanized finish periodically for white rust or corrosion, especially in steam or non-potable water service at up to 150 psi and 150 °F; replace the nipple if the coating is breached or threads show wear.
