3-Inch Galvanised Steel Pipe Nipple

The Beck 331046409 nipple is a 3-inch nominal bore pipe fitting with male NPT threads on both ends. It is manufactured from welded Grade B steel with a galvanised coating. The fitting suits air, gas, non-potable water and oil lines in residential or light-commercial plumbing installations.

Sustained Pressure Performance

Rated for 150 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit, the nipple maintains its seal under continuous operating pressure. The Schedule 40 wall thickness and welded construction resist deformation during prolonged service. It is not rated for steam applications or temperatures beyond the stated limit.

Thermal and Corrosion Behaviour

The galvanised finish protects the steel from oxidation in damp environments. Steel construction conducts heat rapidly, so the nipple reaches fluid temperature quickly. No insulation or special power consideration is required for this passive component.
