1/8" NPT Steel Pipe Nipple
The Value Brand 5P609 is a 3-inch Schedule 40 steel nipple with male NPT threads on both ends. It is built for air, gas, oil and non-potable water lines in industrial and automotive plumbing systems.
Rated 300 psi at 150°F
The fitting handles standard pneumatic and hydraulic pressures up to 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Steam service is limited to 150 psi at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, so high-temperature steam lines beyond that range need a different component.
Electric-resistance welded black steel
The pipe is electric-resistance welded and finished in black coating for corrosion resistance. Male NPT threads on each end allow direct connection to female-threaded fittings, valves or equipment without additional adapters.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/8" NPT threads on this 3-inch steel nipple mate with my existing Schedule 40 black iron fittings?
Yes, the nipple is threaded NPT male on both ends and built to Schedule 40 dimensions, so it will engage standard Schedule 40 fittings of the same nominal size.
How can I verify the nipple is holding pressure after I thread it into my air line?
Pressurise the line to its working level — up to 300 psi at 150 °F — and check each joint with leak detection fluid; no bubbles mean the threads are sealing correctly.
Does the package include any thread sealant or gaskets, or must I buy them separately?
The nipple is supplied alone; you will need to provide your own pipe thread sealant or tape for the NPT connections.
