3-Inch Schedule 40 Galvanized Nipple

This 3-inch galvanized steel pipe nipple is built for Schedule 40 piping systems handling air, gas, non-potable water, oil or steam. Its male NPT threads on one end and threaded-both-ends design suit installers who need a short, rigid connector for industrial or commercial plumbing runs.

Threaded Both Ends for Rigid Connections

The nipple measures 3 inches overall with a 3 1/16-inch inside diameter and 3 1/2-inch outside diameter, fitting standard Schedule 40 fittings without adapters. Continuous weld construction and Grade A steel handle up to 150 psi at 150 °F, freeing the installer from worrying about joint separation under pressure or thermal cycling.

Replaces Shorter or Uncoated Pipe Sections

Use this nipple when a 3-inch length bridges the gap between two female-threaded components and galvanized corrosion resistance is required. It is not suited for potable water lines, for systems exceeding the rated pressure or temperature, or for applications demanding stainless steel or plastic piping materials.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum operating pressure this Schedule 40 nipple can handle at 150 degrees F?

The galvanized steel nipple is rated for 150 psi at 150 degrees F, making it suitable for air, gas, non-potable water, oil, and steam applications within that pressure limit.

How much heat does the pipe generate during continuous steam or hot water flow?

The pipe itself does not generate heat; it conducts the fluid temperature, so the exterior will reach the same 150 degrees F as the steam or hot water flowing inside.

Which threaded fittings do I need to connect this 3 inch MNPT nipple?

You need a 3 inch female NPT fitting such as a coupling, elbow, or valve with Schedule 40 compatibility to thread onto the male pipe threads.
