What This Pipe Nipple Is

The Zoro Select 0830046801 is a steel pipe nipple built for air, gases, non-potable water and oils. It has a nominal size of 3 in with NPT threads on both ends and an overall length of 61/2 in. The fitting is rated for 150 psi maximum operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure at 360 Degrees F.

What The Specifications Change

A black anodized finish protects the Grade B steel from corrosion in harsh environments. The welded construction provides a permanent joint that resists leakage under vibration or thermal cycling. An inside diameter of 3 1/16 in and an outside diameter of 3 1/2 in match standard 3 in nominal piping dimensions.

Who Should Use This And Who Should Not

Plumbers and maintenance crews joining two female-threaded components in hydraulic or pneumatic systems up to 150 psi will find it suitable. Installers needing a different length, a larger nominal size or a fitting rated above 150 psi should look at other options.

Questions about this item

Will the 150 psi maximum operating pressure require periodic re-testing or replacement of the steel pipe nipple?

The Grade B steel nipple is rated for 150 psi maximum operating pressure and 150 psi steam at 360 °F; no re-testing interval is specified by the manufacturer.

What is the first limit reached when the nipple carries steam continuously at the 150 psi rating?

The 360 °F maximum steam temperature is the limiting factor; sustained steam above that temperature exceeds the rated conditions.

Does the black anodized finish on the welded steel nipple affect heat dissipation or noise during all-day operation?

The finish is a protective coating; it does not change thermal transfer or generate noise, and the nipple has no moving parts.
