3" x 8" Schedule 40 Galvanized Nipple
This Legend Valve 356-212E nipple is a short pipe fitting with male threads on both ends. It connects two female-threaded components in a plumbing or piping system. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for water supply lines. It is supplied new and conforms to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards.
Installers needing a 3-inch diameter.
This fitting suits applications requiring a Schedule 40 galvanized nipple of these exact dimensions. It is not intended for systems requiring a different nominal pipe size, overall length, or pressure class. Buyers needing stainless steel, brass, or plastic material should select an alternative product. The California Proposition 65 warnings indicate chemical exposure risks requiring safe handling practices.
Standard threaded installation with sealant
Installation involves threading each end into female fittings using appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape to ensure a leak-free joint. Over-tightening can damage the galvanized coating or strip threads, leading to corrosion or leaks. Misalignment during assembly stresses the joint and may cause premature failure. Always verify thread compatibility before assembly.

Questions about this item
What thread size must my existing pipe have to accept the 3" nipple?
The nipple uses 3-inch NPT threads, so the mating pipe or fitting must also be 3-inch NPT.
Can I join this Schedule 40 galvanized nipple to older black-iron pipe threads?
Yes, both use the same NPT taper, so the 3" galvanized nipple threads directly onto legacy black-iron fittings.
How do I verify the nipple is seated correctly after installation?
Turn on the water and check the threaded joints; no drips at the 3" connections means the Schedule 40 nipple is sealed.
