Value Brand Pipe Nipple Steel 3/4 in NPT 7 in
Steel pipe nipple with NPT threads handles air, gas, oil and steam at 300 psi
- Handles air, gas, oil and non-potable water service
- Schedule 40 steel rated for 300 psi at 150 °F
- Steam duty up to 150 psi at 350 °F
- Electric-resistance welded construction for leak-resistant threads
- 3/4 in NPT threads fit standard Schedule 40 piping
Steel pipe nipple for industrial piping
This 3/4 inch NPT threaded nipple is made from welded steel with a black coating. It suits air, natural gas, non-potable water, oil and steam lines in Schedule 40 systems. The 7 inch overall length connects two female-threaded components in a straight run.
Pressure and temperature limits in service
The fitting handles up to 300 psi at 150 degrees F for general fluids and 150 psi at 350 degrees F for steam. Electric resistance weld construction maintains integrity under these conditions. No moving parts mean silent operation and zero power draw.
Threaded Schedule 40 connection requirements
Both ends use 3/4 inch NPT threads so the nipple mates with matching Schedule 40 fittings, valves or equipment. The 1 3/64 inch outside diameter fits standard pipe wrenches for installation. It does not suit potable water systems or pressures beyond the rated limits.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 3/4 in NPT threaded ends on Schedule 40 steel pipe, and what step is often missed?
Clean threads thoroughly, apply pipe-thread sealant or tape rated for 300 psi at 150 Degrees F, tighten to the fitting compatibility spec, then pressure-test before covering the joint.
What maintenance or replacement will the black-coated steel nipple need over time?
Inspect the electric-resistance-weld seam and black finish annually for corrosion or scale; replace if wall loss appears or if steam service exceeds 150 psi at 350 Degrees F.
What limit appears first during sustained high-pressure steam use?
The 150 psi maximum steam pressure at 350 Degrees F is reached well before the 300 psi air or water rating, so steam duty governs the design envelope.
