3/8" Schedule 40 Black Steel Pipe Nipple

This 3/8 inch nominal black steel pipe nipple measures 2.5 inches overall length with threaded male NPT connections on both ends. It meets ASTM A-53 Type E and ASTM A-733 Grade B standards for welded construction. Suitable for plumbing installations requiring a short, rigid connector.

Pressure Rating and Temperature Limits

The fitting handles a maximum pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum steam pressure of 150 psi WSP. Electric resistance welded construction provides consistent wall thickness of 5/64 inch for reliable performance under sustained system pressure. The 43/64 inch outside diameter ensures compatibility with standard Schedule 40 fittings.

Thread Compatibility and Application Checks

Verify your existing piping uses 3/8 inch nominal size with male NPT threads to match this nipple's connections. Confirm the system operating pressure and temperature stay within the 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit rating. This nipple is not intended for applications requiring different thread standards, larger diameters, or higher pressure classes.

Questions about this item

Does the 300 psi rating at 150 degrees F hold up when the nipple runs all day?

The Schedule 40 black steel nipple is rated for 300 psi at 150 °F and 150 psi steam, so continuous operation within those limits is supported by the ASTM A-53 Type E and A-733 Grade B construction.

What thread sealant or tape do I need for the MNPT ends on this nipple?

Both ends are male NPT threads, so standard PTFE tape or pipe-thread sealant rated for 300 psi service is required to make a leak-free joint.

Will the 43/64 inch outside diameter match the 3/8 inch fittings already on my system?

Yes, the 43/64 in outside diameter corresponds to the nominal 3/8 in pipe size, so it threads into existing 3/8 in NPT fittings without adapters.
