  • Threaded both ends for secure leak-free joints

3/8″ Schedule 40 Galvanized Nipple

This Value Brand pipe nipple is a 3/8 inch nominal, Schedule 40 fitting made from welded galvanized steel. It features male National Pipe Thread (MNPT) connections on both ends with a close-thread overall length. The electric resistance weld construction provides a standard pressure rating of 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Suits Standard Water and Air Lines

The nipple fits typical residential and light-commercial plumbing systems that require a short, rigid connector between female-threaded components. Its galvanized coating handles potable water and compressed air within the rated pressure and temperature range. Installers needing a longer spacer, a different pipe schedule, or a non-metallic alternative should select another fitting.

Threads Directly Into Female Fittings

The MNPT threads engage standard female couplings, elbows, tees, or valves without adapters, simplifying assembly in tight runs. The 0.091 inch wall thickness maintains Schedule 40 strength while the close-thread length minimizes the installed footprint. Metal-detectable construction allows the installed piece to be located with a detector if required.

Questions about this item

What size female NPT fittings do I need to connect this 3/8 inch MNPT nipple?

You need 3/8 inch female NPT fittings on both sides because the nipple has male NPT threads on each end.

Will this Schedule 40 nipple handle the same 300 psi rating as my existing Schedule 40 galvanized piping at 150 degrees F?

Yes, it is rated for 300 psi at 150 degrees F, matching standard Schedule 40 galvanized steel pressure limits at that temperature.

How can I verify the wall thickness is correct after installation?

The wall thickness is 0.091 inches; you can confirm it with a pipe wall gauge or caliper on the exposed end.
