SKU CH-4HJ3-FY7XG

Steel pipe nipple with male NPT threads at both ends for air, gases, non-potable water or oils

  • Schedule 40 steel withstands 300 psi at 150°F
  • Electric resistance weld ensures leak-free joints
  • 3/8 in NPT threads connect air, gas, oil lines
  • Black coating resists corrosion on non-potable systems

Steel Pipe Nipple 3/8 NPT 5 in

This steel pipe nipple connects two female-threaded components in air, gas, non-potable water or oil lines. The 3/8 inch nominal size and five inch overall length suit tight routing between fixed ports. Welded construction and black coating provide mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for industrial or workshop plumbing.

Schedule 40 Pressure Limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Steam service is limited to 150 psi at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Exceeding these pressure or temperature boundaries risks joint failure and leakage in the threaded connections.

5 Inch Length and 300 psi Headroom

The five inch span bridges standard port spacing while the 300 psi rating covers most shop air and hydraulic circuits. It is not intended for potable water systems or pressures beyond the stated limits. Buyers needing longer reach or higher pressure ratings must select a different fitting.
